Investing.com --  Cubic (NYSE:CUB) Corporation soared 25% as Elliott Management looks at taking over the company.

Cubic Corp , which provides transportation and defense system services, adopted a poison pill after the hedge fund said it owns a 15% stake and wants to buy the rest with a private equity partner, Bloomberg Law reported.

The company said its standalone prospects are excellent, and Paul Singer's Elliott hasn't made a formal acquisition offer. 

The poison pill, a shareholder rights plan, gives the board of directors at Cubic time to make an informed decision, and prevents third parties from getting control of the company at a price that isn't the best interest of shareholders, Bloomberg Law said. 

Shares are down 12% in 2020. Cubic has five buy ratings and one hold.
