Salesforce to acquire data management company Informatica in $8 billion deal

Salesforce agreed on May 27, 2025, to acquire Informatica for about $8 billion, paying $25 per share to Informatica shareholders.
The deal follows failed talks in April 2024 due to term disagreements and reflects Salesforce responding to activist investor pressure to improve profitability.
Informatica, founded in 1993, provides AI-powered cloud data management and automation services used by clients like Unilever and Deloitte, complementing Salesforce's offerings.
Informatica shares rose 5.7% premaket to $23.82, reflecting an 11% premium over last Friday's $22.55 close, while Salesforce shares increased by 0.57% ahead of the announcement.
The acquisition, expected to close early in Salesforce’s fiscal 2027 through cash and debt, aims to strengthen Salesforce's data management and AI capabilities amid growing industry competition.
