EQT-Backed Kamgras 1 Launches Tender Offer for Kakaku.com

Kakaku ( (JP:2371) ) has issued an update.

Kamgras 1 K.K., a special purpose vehicle indirectly owned by funds managed and advised by Sweden-based investment group EQT, has launched a tender offer to acquire all common shares and share options of Kakaku.com, excluding certain non-tendered and treasury shares. The move is aimed at taking control of Kakaku.com’s business operations, and reflects EQT’s ongoing strategy of using its global platform and substantial private capital to support the long-term growth and transformation of Japanese digital and technology-focused companies.

The offeror, established in April 2026 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Kamgras 2 K.K., currently holds no Kakaku.com securities and intends to acquire them under Japan’s Financial Instruments and Exchange Act through this transaction. For EQT, which manages about €270 billion in assets and has a track record of multiple investments in Japan since 2006, the deal underscores its commitment to sustainable value creation and could further reshape Kakaku.com’s strategic direction under private equity-backed ownership.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:2371) stock is a Buy with a Yen3000.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Kakaku stock, see the JP:2371 Stock Forecast page.
