Broadcom in advanced talks to buy Symantec's enterprise business: sources

It’s possible that a deal is reached by the time Symantec announces earnings on Thursday, but negotiations could last longer, the sources said.The deal could be worth about $10 billion, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing sources.

Shares of Symantec, which has a market value of $12.63 billion, rose 14% in extended trading, while those of Broadcom fell 1%.

Symantec is struggling with severe competition from nimbler rivals and has seen several top level executives leave the company this year, while it is also being investigated by U.S. regulators over an accounting irregularity.
