Thoma Bravo is in advanced talks to acquire Verint for around $2 billion including debt, with a potential announcement possible soon though terms and timing remain unsettled. Thoma Bravo has not commented and Verint has not issued a direct response. Verint's shares have fallen 38% over the past year but rose 6% to $20.47, valuing the company at approximately $1.2 billion. Verint exceeded first-quarter revenue expectations, and analysts expect its customer-experience automation software to benefit from rapid artificial intelligence adoption. Verint is based in Melville, New York, serves more than 10,000 customers in over 175 countries, and spun off Cognyte in 2021, which is valued at about $639 million. Thoma Bravo recently acquired Dayforce for $12.3 billion.
This was reported by sources to Bloomberg News. According to them, the company would be valued at around $2 billion, including debt. An agreement could be announced shortly, although nothing is final yet and terms or timing are subject to change. The news agency reported in July that the two parties were in talks. Bloomberg added at the time that it was uncertain whether the talks would lead to a deal.
Verint's share price has fallen 38% over the past year, but rose 6% to $20.47 in New York on Friday, giving it a market value of approximately $1.2 billion.

The Melville, New York-based company presents itself as a specialist in customer experience automation and serves more than 10,000 customers in over 175 countries.
In 2021, Verint spun off Cognyte Software, which has since been operating as an independent publicly traded company.
