Rumors are now swirling that Dell—the famed PC maker that popularized mainstream customization—may soon be acquired by a private-equity firm, according to a report in Bloomberg citing two unnamed sources.

The Texas-based company is currently publicly traded and its market capitalization puts the company’s worth at around $19 billion. Dell, like many other PC makers, has struggled in recent years as laptops, tablets, and smartphones have risen to the fore. Still, the company launched Sputnik, an Ubuntu-based laptop geared towards developers, just last year.

On Monday morning, company stock shot up 14 percent to more than $12 per share (as of this writing) on the heels of this not-quite-yet-news.

Bloomberg also reported in 2010 that CEO and founder Michael Dell “considered” taking the company private, just three years after he retook the top job.

“We’re in the midst of a transformation and we’re very focused on how we’re doing in that and what’s our progress and are people coming along in that and making the journey successfully,” Dell said at the time.
