Shares of Abivax (ABVX.PA) rose 6% amid M&A speculation, following a report that AstraZeneca (AZN.L) offered approximately 176 euros ($205.85) per share. Analysts from Kepler Chevreux and ODDO BHF attributed the stock's volatility to this news. Previously, Eli Lillywas rumored to be preparing a 15 billion euro ($17.5 billion) bid, although France’s Finance Ministry has not received any formal investment request. Both AstraZeneca and Abivax did not provide immediate comments on the matter.
