N/A
<dl class="wp-caption alignleft caption-alignleft">

Could Orbitz (OWW) be a takeover target?

<>Credit Suisse analyst Scott Barry raises that possibility in a research note this morning on the online travel agency. Barry, who has an Outperform rating on the stock, thinks the company offer a potential buyer some attractive characteristics. In particular, he notes that the company has $10 billion of gross volume, “under-monetized traffic,” “visibility on $150 million of stable EBITDA,” and an improving competitive position. Put that together, he suggests, and the company could be interest<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< /><>< /><>< /><>< /><>< />< />...
