On October 5th, shares of software company PTC (PTC.O) surged by 34.6% in pre-market trading to $193.8 after France's Schneider Electric (SCHN.PA) agreed to acquire PTC in an all-cash deal valuing PTC's equity at approximately $22.6 billion. The offer price of $205 per share represents an enterprise value of $23.7 billion, a 42.3% premium over PTC’s previous closing price. According to data from London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG), this is the largest acquisition in Schneider Electric’s history. Following the agreement to acquire private AI software and industrial data provider Cognite Holding in June this year, this deal marks another significant step in SCHN’s expansion into the software sector. As of the previous day’s close, PTC shares were down 17.3% year-to-date, while SCHN’s shares had risen 17.4% for the year.
