Cloudera shares were climbing on Friday on reports that activist investor Carl Icahn has taken a 12.6% stake in the company.
According to regulatory filings, Icahn along with his associated businesses have built up the stake in the data analytics software company on their perception that Cloudera shares were undervalued.
Cloudera shares are down more than -36% on the year, following a disappointing revenue forecast in early June and rating downgrades from analysts.
