Fastrack · Schneider Electric Nears $20 Billion Deal to Buy PTC.

Schneider Electric is close to a roughly $20 billion deal to acquire PTC, a Boston-based industrial software company, the Financial Times reported Sunday.

PTC's current market value stands at $15.63 billion, per LSEG data.
A deal could be announced as soon as Monday, the FT reported.
Discussions are ongoing and a final deal is not guaranteed.
PTC raised its annual revenue forecast in July after strong third-quarter results.

Why it matters: PTC provides core industrial software and AI-powered tools — a growing market Schneider Electric would gain direct access to.
