流言：Twitter周四开会讨论出售事宜，至少卖180亿美元 - Twitter,推特 - IT资讯
北京时间9月6日晚间消息，国外媒体今日援引知情人士的消息称，Twitter董事会周四将召开一次会议，讨论公司所面临的一系列问题，其中包括出售事宜。
关于Twitter被出售的消息早有传闻，华尔街分析师也认为，Twitter被出售只是时间早晚的问题。近日，Twitter联合创始人埃文·威廉姆斯(Evan Williams)的一席话再次将该话题推到风口浪尖。
威廉姆斯上周在接受彭博电视台采访时称：“我们现在的地位很有利，作为董事会成员，我们必须考虑正确的选择。”外界认为，这番话可能暗示Twitter将考虑出售选项，从而刺激Twitter股价大涨7%。
投资研究公司分析师罗伯特·派克(Robert Peck)称，Twitter当前估值约为150亿美元。按照溢价20%的标准计算，收购Twitter至少需要180亿美元。
有业内人士认为，价格不是问题，谷歌母公司Alphabet、Facebook、苹果公司、亚马逊和微软等都是Twitter的潜在收购方。对于Alphabet而言，在其搜索服务中部署Twitter的实时推送(feed)功能，可实现成本和营收的协同效应。
对于Facebook，收购Twitter可实现战略匹配。对于苹果公司，收购Twitter可将当前的硬件业务拓展到社交领域。对于亚马逊，可拓展实时内容服务，进一步强化广告业务。至于微软，一直都对在线和广告业务感兴趣。
但派克认为，短期内Twitter也没有出售的紧迫性。首先，Twitter CEO杰克·多西(Jack Dorsey)仅上任一年时间。其次，Twitter正在推出几项新服务。此外，Twitter董事会将继续支持多西。
