Visteon Corp. shares rose as much as 12 percent, the most in nine months, after a report that a joint venture of India's Tata AutoComp Systems Ltd. and France's Valeo SA may buy a stake in the auto-parts maker, Bloomberg News reported today.
The Business Standard newspaper in India said today that the Tata Group unit and Valeo may spend as much as $2 billion on the purchase, citing people it didn't identify. The newspaper didn't give a number of shares or percentage size of the stake.
