SodaStream International Ltd., the Israeli maker of home soda machines, is in talks with an investment firm about taking the company private, according to people familiar with the matter. The shares soared.

The transaction would value the company at about $40 a share, or $828 million, or 38 percent above yesterday’s closing price, said one of the people. No final agreement has been reached and talks could still fall apart, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the discussions are private.
