There are plenty of times when a companies stock is way over or under valued, and it wouldn't be crazy to think with the high that Take Two is on, that they very well may be over valued at this point in time. Meaning if a buyout occurred, they probably wouldn't get all that much more for the company than what it's valued at now.
Depending on how the companies stock is divided, it's quite possible the individuals running the company may have very little control over whether or not they can stop the company from being purchased. There are literally hostile takeovers at times when one company buys up the overwhelming majority of shares of another and that's that.
This may or may not be the case, but I doubt Sony would take over Take Two if they didn't think it was a good idea to sell, yet anything is possible. I'd still guess it's unlikely but there are certainly good reasons why it would be a worthy purchase for SNY. Depends on what PS has planned for the future.

Yes I know it. My company when bought had like a 20% bonus on the share or less when they decided the price. When it gone for the stockholders to decide because the rumor spread out and stock evaluated the bonus was like 5%. They sold anyway because they expected the stock to fall in the short and middle term because the company had evaluated almost 100% in 2 years.
I'm talking more about bid war (on a deal that was secret before leak), sharing profits (when you are already making your profit and some on the sale) and other stuff.
And yes I agree it's unlikely to happen.

I was just using your point to elaborate for those who didn't realize public companies don't exactly operate in the same way as a private company and that the stock market isn't the perfect indicator of a public companies overall position. I could've been more clear on that in retrospect.
