Cerner Corp. shares had their best day in almost a decade following a report that Oracle Corp. is in talks to buy the medical-records company for about $30 billion, part of the software maker’s push into health care.
A deal could be reached soon, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday, citing unidentified people familiar with the situation. If the transaction goes through, it would mark Oracle’s biggest acquisition yet. Representatives of Oracle and Cerner didn’t respond to repeated requests for comment on the report.
