Ascend (ASND:Nasdaq) rejected a $35-per-share takeover bid from Lucent (LU:NYSE) and expects a sweetened bid of $40, CNBC reported. Ascend was up 3 3/16, or 13.5%, to 26 7/8 during the trading session, as rumors swirled that Lucent or Northern Telecom (NT:NYSE) planned to pounce on the networker. But Ascend shares barely budged in after-hours trading, according to Reuters. TheStreet.com examined Ascend's ripeness for the takeover picking in an Oct. 21 story.
