Acquisition BenefitsThe announced acquisition by Siemens for $113 per share in an all-cash deal is a good outcome for shareholders, offering a 19% premium to Altair Engineering's unaffected price.
Revenue SynergiesSiemens expects incremental revenue synergies from the transaction to be between $500 million and $1 billion over the medium to long term.
Strategic FitThis acquisition makes strategic sense as both companies are in the industrial software space and Altair's portfolio should be a good fit for Siemens, as EDA and system simulation continue to converge.
