Schneider Electric to Acquire PTC for $205/Share in $22.6B All-Cash Deal
PTC sits 33% above its 52-week low of $108.5.
Summary
Schneider Electric will acquire PTC for $205 per share in cash, a 42.3% premium to the last close, valuing equity at ~$22.6B and enterprise value at ~$23.7B. The board has approved the deal, with closing expected by Q3 2027. Financing includes a €5–6B equity raise and €16–17B in new debt, with projected annual cost synergies of ~€250M by year three and ~€800M in revenue synergies. PTC and Schneider Electric signed the definitive merger agreement on October 4, 2026, with a $700 million termination fee and $25 billion bridge financing commitment. This follows yesterday's Reuters report that Schneider was close to a ~$20B deal; today's terms confirm a higher valuation and provide concrete financing and synergy details. The premium is substantial and likely to drive PTC shares toward the offer price, though the long closing timeline introduces some execution risk.
