My personal (as in don't make any decisions based on this, especially financial) opinion is that since BMC shares have stabilized from the massive freefall of last year and reached a bottom of around $31/share earlier this year, potential buyers may wait to see if BMC's sales stabilize. I'm not sure that BMC's competitors are doing all that well either, as it seems like the software industry in general isn't doing great unless you can hop on the buzzword train. It seems like BMC is trying really hard to do that since they have put so much attention on marketing their cloud computing management tools.

I'm sure that after a few too many drinks some of the BMC folks probably let go some secrets concerning this.
