(Reuters) - Healthcare IT firm Model N said on Monday it has entered into an agreement to be taken private by investment firm Vista Equity Partners for about $1.25 billion, sending its shares up 9.3% at $29.60 in premarket trading.

Vista will acquire all the outstanding shares of Model N for $30 per share, according to the terms of the agreement, representing a premium of 10.7% to the company's last close.

Model N provides revenue management software to the life sciences and high-tech industries.

Its customers comprise pharmaceutical companies, semiconductor manufacturers and medical device makers including Johnson & Johnson, AstraZeneca and Microchip Technology.

This would be Vista’s fifth take-private transaction in the last 18 months. Since October 2022, Vista has acquired EngageSmart for $4 billion, Duck Creek Technologies for $2.60 billion and Avalara for $8.40 billion.

In 2023, Vista was also the seller in two multi-billion dollar transactions - IBM's acquisition of Apptio for $4.60 billion and Blackstone's acquisition of Cvent for $4.60 billion.

  • Inflation and the US election: What they mean for the US dollar

    The US dollar (DX-Y.NYB) is digesting Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's latest comments on inflation at the European Central Bank's (ECB) Forum on Central Banking, as well as the rise in job openings from May. TD Bank Global Head of FX and EM Strategy Mark McCormick sits down with Madison Mills on Catalysts to talk about the Fed's data-centric approach to its interest rate policies going forward. "And inflation from month to month is going to be very challenging and very volatile indicator. So the way that we keep looking at it is there's no room for error," McCormick tells Yahoo Finance. "So next week's inflation number, if it comes in hot this whole narrative is gone. If it comes in as expected, then we get another inflation print where it's like 'yes, they can still probably go in September.' But again, if it comes in hot, it's like everything is binary now. So the market, it lacks confidence, it lacks motivation in terms of how to trade these themes. McCormick also weighs in on the ways a second Trump presidency or policies like heightened tariffs could impact the US dollar. In the broader FX (foreign exchange) market, McCormick also comments on the influence France's snap election is having on the euro.

Manufacturing is being pressured by higher interest rates and softening demand for goods, though business investment has largely held up.

  • There is 'still a place' for Tesla in China, analyst says

    Shares of Tesla (TSLA) are rising as the company beat vehicle delivery estimates for its second quarter. Barclays senior autos analyst Dan Levy joins Morning Brief to give insight into Tesla's performance and whether the fear of slowing EV demand is coming to an end. "Certainly, the competition is going to be tougher in China, but there is still a place for Tesla in China. We still see them hold share fairly steady in that high single-digit range as a percent of total EV sales. So they've actually held steady. But certainly, the competition is intense," Levy tells Yahoo Finance. For more expert insight and the latest market action, click here to watch this full episode of Morning Brief.

  • How to navigate CD investments before an interest rate cut

    As interest rates remain high and Wall Street awaits the Federal Reserve's rate cut, Curinos head of wealth Korrynn Baltzersen joins Wealth! to discuss how investors should navigate certificates of deposit (CDs) amid the current economic backdrop. "What we've seen for the first time in recent history is that wealth clients are adopting retail CDs. And what's happening there, at the start of 2023, CDs represented just 3% of wealth deposits. And clients were adopting CDs, about 10% of acquisition balances going into retail CDs. That picked up greatly last year, as you could get to a 5% handle on a CD, there's something in the mentality of an investor that 5% seems great. And so even wealth clients started adopting CDs at a much higher pace," Baltzersen explains. She notes that historically when the Federal Reserve has started cutting interest rates, "that's when the market outperformance led more investors into the market versus keeping that money in cash." She believes there will be a "real shift" once investors can no longer get a 5% handle, as "they can just get a higher yield in the market."
