M&A Watch w/ Jon Najarian

Which companies are looking like top takeover targets, right now? Jon Najarian has spotted hot options action in three stocks!

Here’s what’s on his radar!

Biogen  [BIIB  Loading...      ()   ]

- big investors are buying the April-55 calls
- huge volume day; typically it trades about 7300 contracts so far selling over 70,000
- market rumor suggest a deal could be announced within the next few days.

Coventry Health  [CVH  Loading...      ()   ]

- up a little over 20% in the past 2 weeks
- rumored to be takeover target pursued by UNH

Textron  [TXT  Loading...      ()   ]

- big investors are buying expiring calls in the front month
