Shares of Elan Corp. plc (NYSE: ELN) are 11% higher today with Reuters reporting rumors "Denmark's Lundbeck was lining up an imminent bid at 8 euros per share, valuing it at $3.8 billion."

In January, Elan hired Citigroup to conduct, in conjunction with executive management and other external advisors, a review of the Company's strategic alternatives.


One analyst quoted in the article said Elan is too big for Lundeck to afford given the current credit market.
