Priority Technology (US74275K1088) agreed to go private at USD 8.05 per share, putting a fixed cash value on Priority Technology stock. Business Wire reported the definitive agreement on September 21, 2026, saying the offer represented a 38.00 percent premium to the September 18 closing price.

Cash offer resets the valuation

The investor group led by Chairman and CEO Thomas Priore will acquire the shares it does not already own, subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2027, after which the common stock would leave Nasdaq, according to Business Wire.

The agreement gives minority holders a clear cash consideration, but the outcome still depends on the stated approval process. The proposed USD 8.05 payment therefore matters more for the near-term trading setup than a conventional long-term valuation multiple.

Revenue growth meets earnings debate

Priority reported USD 262.3 million of revenue in the second quarter of 2026, up 9.40 percent from USD 239.8 million a year earlier. The same report listed adjusted earnings per share of USD 0.29 against a USD 0.26 consensus estimate, a USD 0.03 comparison advantage, according to StockTitan.

That operating backdrop supports the deal narrative, while the transaction terms cap the immediate upside at the cash consideration unless the agreement changes. MarketBeat reported on September 21, 2026 that Lake Street kept a Hold rating and cut its target from USD 13.00 to USD 8.05.
