This will be a good long term hold at this level. They have experience in running this type of business in the past. Either case, it is coming from the lows set by a down market, which will probably lift from those levels going forward.

Computer Science: Goldman Sees Potential Deal Target, Raises Rating
N/A

Computer Sciences (CSC) could be the next IT services company to get acquired, Goldman Sachs analyst Julio Quinteros theorizes in a research note this morning.

Quinteros takes a look at recent deals in the services sector - including the pending acquisitions of Affiliated Computer Services (ACS) by Xerox (XRX) and Perot Systems (PER) by Dell (DELL) - and concludes that there very well could be more deals to come.

Analyst Roundup: Plantronics, Quest, Corning Upgraded to Buy
N/A

Herewith a roundup of some interesting tidbits missed earlier today:

<>Tavis McCourt, Morgan Keegan: Raised his rating on Plantronics (PLT) to “Outperform” from “Market Perform” after the company said Friday it would sell its Altec Lansing business that makes speakers, which Plantronics bought for $166 million in July of 2005, for $18 million to private equity firm Prophet Equity LP.

Brocade: Oppenheimer Doubts Acquisition
N/A
<>A deal for Brocade (BRCD)? Such is the talk in a Wall Street Journal article this morning that has sent the company’s shares up $1.30, or 17%, to $8.99. However, Oppenheimer & Co. analyst Itai Kidron this morning throws cold water on the matter, saying a deal would require “material changes” the acquirer, and is therefore “unlikely near term.” Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) and Oracle (ORCL) are both mentioned as likely buyers in the story, according to “people familiar,” who say the maker of storage networking equipment is having itself shopped around by legendary tech banker <>Frank Q...

Xerox copies Dell for a big M&A deal

Filed under: Deals, Dell (DELL), Xerox Corp (XRX)

In the global tech industry, the services business has become a strategic asset. Last week, Dell (NASDAQ: DELL) agreed to shell out a whopping $3.9 billion for Perot Systems (NYSE: PER).

Now, there's another biggie deal: Xerox (NASDAQ: XRX) has agreed to pay $6.4 billion for Affiliated Computers Services (NASDAQ: ACS). Just like Dell, Xerox's core hardware business is undergoing lots of pressure. So why not expand into something else?
