(Reuters) -Jif Peanut butter maker J.M. Smucker is nearing an agreement to buy Twinkies-owner Hostess Brands (NASDAQ:) in a deal that would likely be in the neighborhood of $4 billion, the Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday, citing sources.
Hostess’ shares have risen nearly 27% since Reuters reported that the company was exploring a sale after fielding takeover interest from major food makers.
The company has a market capitalization of about $3.73 billion, according to LSEG Eikon data.

Both Hostess and J.M. Smucker did not immediately respond to Reuters’ request for comments outside regular business hours.
