10月14日，据报道，有消息称阿波罗全球管理公司(Apollo Global，APO.US)拟以每股64美元的价格收购棒约翰(Papa John's，PZZA.US)。受此消息影响，棒约翰股价昨日盘中一度大涨19%，截至发稿，该股夜盘上涨3.02%。
此次消息并非首次传出，今年6月，有报道称，阿波罗与一家卡塔尔投资基金已就收购这家披萨连锁运营商提出要约。当时消息人士向该媒体透露，这一交易对棒约翰的估值可能在20亿美元左右。
事实上，有关棒约翰可能成为收购目标的消息在今年早些时候就已首次出现。当时的市场猜测指出，由卡塔尔王室成员支持的投资基金厄斯资本管理公司(Irth Capital Management)正考虑以私有化方式收购棒约翰。
