Analysis · CCO · Trade & Services
The company now expects its previously announced acquisition by a Mubadala Capital-led consortium to close early in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to remaining regulatory approval. This narrows the timeline for a deal that has been pending since at least April 2026 and removes some uncertainty about the closing window. The stock is trading near its 52-week high, suggesting the market has already priced in a high probability of completion, but the updated timing is a concrete step toward finality.
