Envestnet, caught in speculative web over possible Yodlee spinoff--or sale of company, itself--has Wall Street scrambling to buy on the rumor

'Large private-equity firms, in particular, are said to be interested,' Barron's reports, but who's driving the conversation--the company, news media or speculators?

In my opinion, Plaid was a unique market fit opportunity and Yodlee's valuation shouldn't be based on the metrics paid by Visa for Plaid. The synergies behind Plaid coupling with Visa are pretty unique and probably not available to potential acquirers of Yodlee/Envestnet. Visa, being in a leadership position in the semi-oligopolistic credit card industry is in a unique position; likely able to dictate adoption of technologies which arise via Plaid.
