Gillette: Duracell deal caps comeback
Article Abstract:
Gillette has acquired Duracell for $7 billion in a move which emphasizes the company's recovery. Gillette was seen as a takeover target at the end of the 1980s when the company's profit dropped. Gillette has increased its market value to $30 billion from $2 billion. An investigation is to be held by the Securities and Exchange Commission into an increase in trading in Duracell options prior to the announcement of the takeover by Gillette.
