Speaking exclusively to Benzinga, FBR Capital Markets Managing Director and Senior Analyst Daniel Ives said given that Microsoft Corporation MSFT has a laser focus on the cloud, he doesn't see takeover of Nuance Communications Inc. NUAN as likely.
If that was part of Nuance's strategic plan, Ives believes the company -- or at least pieces of it -- would be a better fit for Samsung or a private equity player.
“Right now, Nuance -- it's investors -- want to see good execution without the speed bumps seen of late,” according to Ives.
