Puma Stock Surges 14% Amid Takeover Speculation
Puma, a sportswear company, had a bad few months with sales going down and stock prices falling a lot.
But then, news came out that a big company from China called Anta Sports might want to buy Puma.
This made Puma's stock price go up by 14% in one day.
Other companies like Li Ning and Asics might also be interested in buying Puma.
Puma's new CEO has a plan to make the company grow again by 2027.
The Pinault family, who own a big part of Puma, might want a high price for their shares, which could be a problem for any buyer.

Anta Sports, valued at $31 billion, is reportedly considering a takeover of Puma.
Other potential bidders include Li Ning Co. and Asics Corp.
