What We Know

Thoughtworks went public in September 2021, listing on NASDAQ under the ticker TWKS with an IPO price of $21 per share. The IPO raised approximately $720 million, but the stock struggled in the public markets, trading below its IPO price for much of its time as a public company. In August 2023, Thoughtworks was acquired by Apax Partners in a deal valued at approximately $1.2 billion, taking the company private again. The acquisition was completed at $4.40 per share, significantly below the original IPO price. The take-private transaction was driven by the company's struggles to meet growth expectations and challenges in the competitive IT services market during a period of reduced technology spending.
