The stock was up 7.9%, at $14.67, in midday trading Tuesday. Shares jumped to a three-year high of $16.01 earlier in the trading session.
Apollo-owned Novolex is exploring a potential takeover offer for Pactiv Evergreen, Bloomberg reported earlier Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.
Novolex is discussing a possible bid with financial advisors, though no final decision has been made, according to the report.

Apollo shares were about flat, at $172.50.
