Clearwater Analytics Holdings ( (CWAN) ) has provided an announcement.

On December 20, 2025, Clearwater Analytics Holdings entered into a definitive merger agreement under which GT Silver Merger Sub, an affiliate of a Permira and Warburg Pincus–led investor group with participation from Temasek and support from Francisco Partners, will merge with Clearwater, valuing the company at about $8.4 billion and taking it private. Under the agreed terms, Clearwater stockholders will receive $24.55 in cash per share—representing a roughly 47% premium to the company’s undisturbed share price on November 10, 2025—with existing equity awards largely cashed out on similar economics, and the company’s Class A common stock delisted from the NYSE upon closing, which is targeted for the first half of 2026 pending shareholder and regulatory approvals. The transaction, unanimously recommended by a special committee of independent directors and subsequently approved by the full board, includes a go-shop period through January 23, 2026 that allows Clearwater to solicit superior bids, as well as a detailed framework of termination and reverse-termination fees and fully committed equity and debt financing to support the cash consideration, underscoring a tightly structured, sponsor-backed buyout that will reposition Clearwater as a private fintech platform focused on accelerated product investment and integration of recently acquired capabilities.

The most recent analyst rating on (CWAN) stock is a Buy with a $36.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Clearwater Analytics Holdings stock, see the CWAN Stock Forecast page.
