...play," says Bruce Thorp, an analyst for PNC Bank. "This deal implies that it's open to all comers." Some analysts insist that CBS is worth $6.4 billion, or $400 a share -- nearly $100 more than last week's closing price. CBS must look mighty fetching to companies (like Disney and other studios) with an itch for a takeover and the stamina to endure the inevitable court battles and regulatory disputes. Billionaire oilman Marvin Davis, said to be interested in acquiring NBC, could find a CBS deal seductive, though Tisch last week reportedly said he would never sell his stock...
