SAP SE (SAP, $108.31) to Acquire IPO-Ready Qualtrics
The German-based European multinational software corporation, SAP SE, in an official statement on Sunday declared that it is set to acquire the survey software company, Qualtrics, for $8 billion.
This deal, the second highest acquisition in the history of SAP (after the $8.3 billion acquisition of travel and expense software company Concur in 2014), would be an all all-cash deal and has been approved by the boards of both companies and also by Qualtrics shareholders.
Qualtrics, which competes with SurveyMonkey, is a bigger and more profitable organization compared to Survey Monkey and has been growing at a faster rate. Founded in 2002, it reported a revenue growth of 41.7% to $184.2 million in the first-half of 2018. With this deal, SAP now has access to a 1900+ strong workforce of Qualtrics along with its more than 9,000 customers.
The SAP deal follows another major blockbuster software deal with the IBM (IBM, $123.54) acquisition of Red Hat (RHT, $173.75). SAP’s revenue growth prospects for the year have been revised by the company to a range of 7.5% to 8.5% - up from the prior range of 6% to 7.5%.
