Dell Considers IPO, Billionaire Investor Bets on Nike

U.S. computer giant Dell is reportedly considering a major shake-up, which could include an acquisition or an IPO. The board, under pressure to increase growth, will meet this month to explore its options. Talks for a potential IPO are still in the early stages. Bill Ackman's Pershing Square Capital is betting big on Nike. The activist investor recently revealed that he took a passive stake in the sneaker company in October. Ackman reportedly isn't interested in changing the path Nike is on, but rather believes in the current strategy for the company.
