Hologic ( (HOLX) ) has provided an announcement.

On April 7, 2026, Hologic completed its acquisition by funds managed by Blackstone and TPG in a transaction valued at up to $79 per share, turning the women’s health specialist into a privately held company with minority backing from ADIA and GIC. Hologic shareholders are set to receive $76 in cash plus a non‑tradable contingent value right tied to revenue milestones in the Breast Health business, while its Nasdaq-listed common stock has ceased trading and will be delisted, leaving the company a wholly owned subsidiary of the buyout consortium.

The merger triggered a comprehensive reshaping of Hologic’s capital structure, governance and incentives, including cash and CVR-based treatment of options and stock awards and the cancellation of high-strike options with no payout. Longtime chief executive Stephen MacMillan resigned with closing, with veteran medtech executive José (Joe) E. Almeida appointed CEO and sole director, signaling an intensified private equity-backed push to accelerate growth and innovation in women’s health technologies.

The most recent analyst rating on (HOLX) stock is a Buy with a $83.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Hologic stock, see the HOLX Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on HOLX Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, HOLX is a Neutral.

The score is driven primarily by strong cash flow and a stable balance sheet, partially offset by a sharp TTM revenue decline and margin compression. Technicals are mildly supportive with price holding above key moving averages, while valuation is less compelling at ~23x earnings with no dividend yield provided.
