What happened

CCC Intelligent Solutions (CCC) stock rose 9.8% to $7.71 on Monday after Bloomberg reported GTCR and Elliott are in advanced talks to buy the auto-insurance software firm, with a deal possibly announced this week. Shares had already gained about 7% on Friday, closing at $7.02, before the report came out. GTCR is a private equity firm, meaning an investment group that buys companies; Elliott is an activist investor that built a large stake in CCC in July. No price has been disclosed, and talks could still end without a deal.

Why it matters

CCC Intelligent Solutions makes the software that many car insurers and repair shops use to estimate damage and settle accident claims. A buyout would move it from the stock market into private hands, and the price paid would show what investors think the business is worth. Its market value is about $4.5 billion, down roughly 26% this year, and one report says it was valued near $8 billion in 2023.
