FOX Business reports that shares of Research In Motion climbed nearly 4-percent on Thursday after rumors surfaced about the company hiring investment bank Goldman Sachs to “explore strategic options.”. This is the fourth time since September 2011 that RIM stocks have jumped due to a possible sale. The first jump took place after reports about a possible purchase by activist investor Carl Icahn surfaced, and then jumped again just one week later after the company reportedly hired an investment bank.
RIM shares then jumped again back in December after Reuters claimed that Amazon and other potential buyers were considering a bid.
