Verint (NASDAQ:VRNT): Current Price $34.00

Verint (NASDAQ:VRNT), a developer of video and audio monitoring systems and software for the defence market, may be bought over by Israeli company Nice Systems (NASDAQ:NICE) for $1.5 billion in a cash and stock deal, as per the Calcalist newspaper, quoted by Reuters. Nice develops security software, data analysis tools and systems for protection of civilian buildings and transport networks and has a current market value of $2.1 billion. The deal would probably have to go through a number of anti-trust approvals considering the two companies operate across many countries internationally.
