Walt Disney Co. shares were up 34 cents to $28.32 in late-morning trading today after a report in Barron's over the weekend suggested the media conglomerate could be purchased by Apple Computer Inc. now that Apple founder Steve Jobs sits on Disney's board as its largest individual shareholder.
Apple, which could unveil new product offerings Tuesday, climbed 34 cents to $71.80 on the news in late-morning trading.
