Cano Health (NYSE:CANO) jumped 9% on speculation that the company could see takeover interest after Amazon agreed to buy One Medical (ONEM) last month for $3.9 billion.

Cano Health (CANO) shares jumped as traders circulated a Dealreporter story that was published after 1pm on Tuesday.

The story speculates that companies like Cano Health (CANO) and Oak Street Health (OSH) could be potential targets as their shares have suffered and potential acquires may be major insurance companies like Humana (HUM) and UnitedHealth (UNH) or CVS Health (CVS).
TO BE CLEAR the story never says that Cano (CANO) is being eyed by several suitors including UNH, HUM and CVS, as some on social media are circulating.
Recall July 6, Cano Health (CANO) jumped 17% amid speculation that the operator of primary care medical services could be a potential acquisition target of health insurer Humana, according to Dealreporter speculation.

CANO has short interest of 10%.

Last week Bloomberg reported that CVS Health (CVS) tried to acquire One Medical before Amazon eventually did.
