What this transaction means for investors
Chase Investment Counsel rapidly ramped up its Clearwater Analytics equity holding. Previously holding no shares, it owned over 237,000 shares at the end of the fourth quarter.
Valued at $5.7 million, it represented 1.6% of the firm’s equity AUM, as reported in its 13F filing with the SEC. Chase held 131 positions worth $357.6 million as of Dec. 31.
However, in late December, private equity firms Permira and Warburg Pincus agreed to acquire Clearwater Analytics for $8.4 billion, or $24.55 a share, in a take-private transaction. Depending on the timing of the Chase’s purchases, it could have a nice gain.
Barring a bidding war, investors should steer clear of Clearwater Analytics’ stock given the limited upside and potential downside risk if the deal falls through.
The shares have lost 17.4% over the last year through Feb. 4, well below the Nasdaq Composite’s 17.3%, and the S&P 500 index’s 15.5%.
