Nokia has been the subject of takeover rumors ever since the stock started sliding more than 4 years ago. Recently, the shares slid to a 52 week low of $1.63 before rebounding sharply back over $2.60. Samsung and Microsoft were the two names most associated with the rumor with the latter company the most logical fit because of Nokia's deal with Microsoft for the use of Windows Phone. The latest rumor has Chinese computer manufacturer Lenovo buying Nokia. Lenovo has a much smaller footprint in the smartphone business than Nokia. In fact, when word of the rumor reached Gianfranco Lanci who runs the company's operations in Europe, Middle East and Africa, he called it a joke and said nothing was happening with Nokia
