The oddly specific rumor had it that Oracle was preparing to offer 38.5 euros ($49.78) per SAP share. The speculation sent SAP shares up by 1.7% by midday, to 36.23 euros. Although Oracle would dearly like to remove its closest competitor from the market, there is unlikely to be any substance to the speculation because the combination of the two enterprise application leaders would create a near-monopoly and would almost certainly be seen as breaching antitrust law in both the US and Europe."}
