Private-equity firm Thoma Bravo agreed to take Accelerant Holdings (ARX) private in an all-cash deal valuing the data-driven risk exchange at more than $4.4 billion enterprise value, at $20.25 per share. Shares surged roughly 44.5% in premarket trading on the news. The announcement came alongside a strong second-quarter earnings report: Accelerant posted non-GAAP EPS of $0.32, a 100% beat versus estimates, and revenue of $356.9 million, exceeding expectations by 30.22% for the quarter ended June 2026.

William Blair downgraded the stock following the deal announcement, a typical move when a buyout price caps near-term upside. Piper Sandler also weighed in with negative commentary on the name. The transaction, structured as an all-cash buyout, would remove ARX from public markets once completed.
