From USA Today:

Shares of Twitter jumped nearly 8% in pre-market trading Monday following a report Silicon Valley investor Marc Andreessen and firm Silver Lake Partners weighed a deal.

According to The Information, several investors in Silicon Valley are pulling together plans to buy or restructure the company.

Talk of a potential acquisition follows upheaval in its management ranks, with several executives including the heads of product and engineering leaving Twitter, CEO Jack Dorsey confirmed last month.

The company is also expected to unveil new board members when it reports quarterly earnings next week. Once again, the big question for investors is how quickly is Twitter adding monthly active users. Last quarter, Twitter missed Wall Street forcecasts with 307 million monthly active users.
