$CPRT · COPART INC
Copart, Inc. filed an 8-K reporting the completion of its acquisition of ACV Auctions Inc. on October 16, 2026. The all-cash tender offer at $10.50 per share resulted in 116,818,409 ACV shares tendered (~68.43% of outstanding), satisfying the minimum condition. The merger closed the same day, ACV shares ceased trading on the NYSE, and ACV will operate as an independent subsidiary under its existing leadership.
- 116,818,409 shares of ACV were validly tendered, representing approximately 68.43% of ACV's outstanding shares.
- The all-cash tender offer priced at $10.50 per share, with the merger closing on October 16, 2026.
- ACV will operate as an independent subsidiary of Copart, led by ACV's existing leadership team.

CPRT is down 1.58% since the filing, a modest decline on a $25.77B market cap company closing a deal that was first announced on September 10, 2026 — suggesting the acquisition was largely priced in.
The deal combines Copart's salvage-auction dominance with ACV's dealer wholesale platform, creating an end-to-end vehicle remarketing giant — but integration execution risk is real.
Consolidation in the online vehicle auction space continues, with Copart adding ACV's dealer-focused digital wholesale platform to its salvage-dominant network, mirroring the broader industry push toward end-to-end remarketing solutions.
Integration risk: Copart must absorb ACV's business, operations, technology, and personnel without disruption. Forward-looking statements caution that actual results may differ materially due to integration challenges.
