People like you get influenced/ manipulated/ hyped up easily by headlines, which is why pump and dump are so effective and easy.
Quote from AFR: "...The people briefed on the matter, who requested anonymity to speak freely, said there was no offer, indicative or otherwise, or even formal due diligence. Still, Stripe was taking a serious look at Tyro, which now has a market capitalisation of just $370 million and 73,500 merchants on its books. A Tyro spokesman said that there were “no offers that are currently being considered by Tyro management or the board”. "
All was mentioned was Stripe was taking a look, that's literally it. Not even a formal due diligence.
If this article is the basis of the pump today, then there's no media speculation, because the media/article literally said there's nothing lol. Tyro management has also addressed your so-called "media speculation" in the article - “no offers that are currently being considered by Tyro management or the board”
If the management has address issues like this every single time there is a slight mention of takeover by someone or in this case, someone not even from the company, the management will have to waste a lot of time.
