Tuesday, The Times is claiming that unnamed sources close to the company say that ThyssenKrupp Titanium GmbH had appointed investment bank Deutsche Bank to work on a possible bid for an American titanium company.
Traders on Wall Street have assumed that the German industrial group (ThyssenKrupp Stainless AG and ThyssenKrupp Titanium GmbH) might make a bid for Allegheny Technologies (ATI) when it may in fact be eyeing Titanium Metals (TIE) located in Dallas, Texas.
ThyssenKrupp stock fell more than 2 percent on Tuesday and the company was forced to make a statement that they were not interested in acquiring Allegheny Technologies (ATI). TIE traded at $34.08 in after hours trading up 1.46%.
