Quinstreet ( (QNST) ) has provided an announcement.

On January 2, 2026, QuinStreet entered into a new senior secured credit agreement with MUFG Bank that establishes a $150 million revolving credit facility maturing on January 2, 2031, secured by first-priority liens on substantially all assets of the company and certain subsidiaries. The facility, whose pricing is tied to QuinStreet’s consolidated total net leverage ratio, will be used in part to fund QuinStreet’s acquisition of Swiss-based SIREN GROUP AG, which trades as HomeBuddy, and may also support general corporate and working capital needs; the agreement imposes customary financial covenants and limitations on additional indebtedness, liens, asset sales, dividends, investments, mergers and affiliate transactions, reflecting tighter lender oversight as QuinStreet expands. Also on January 2, 2026, QuinStreet closed the previously announced acquisition of all outstanding equity of HomeBuddy under a November 30, 2025 share purchase agreement, paying $115 million in cash at closing and committing to a further $75 million in post-closing payments over four years, a structure that spreads the purchase price over time while deepening QuinStreet’s presence in the home services lead-generation market and potentially enhancing its growth profile.

The most recent analyst rating on (QNST) stock is a Hold with a $15.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Quinstreet stock, see the QNST Stock Forecast page.
