What: SRA International (Nasdaq: SRX) popped 10% in intraday trading today after announcing it had agreed to a buyout offer.

Now what: The company has been considered a buyout target for months and the stock popped in January. Several lawsuits have already been filed claiming the company did not adequately shop itself around, which is fairly standard. The lawsuits and the modest deal premium over yesterday's close support the possibility of a higher bid for the company.
