An update from Vasta Platform ( (VSTA) ) is now available.

On January 9, 2026, Brazil-based Vasta Platform Limited announced that it will voluntarily delist its Class A common shares from the Nasdaq Global Select Market and deregister them under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act, following Cogna Educação S.A.’s acquisition of 97.2% of its outstanding shares in a tender offer completed in December 2025. Approved by Vasta’s board on January 8, 2026, the move reflects the company’s assessment that U.S. listing costs and regulatory burdens outweigh the benefits given its small U.S. shareholder base and illiquid trading, with the final Nasdaq trading day expected on or about January 29, 2026 and subsequent suspension of SEC reporting, effectively consolidating control with its Brazilian parent and shifting Vasta away from U.S. capital markets.

The most recent analyst rating on (VSTA) stock is a Buy with a $5.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Vasta Platform stock, see the VSTA Stock Forecast page.
