With the “go shop” period now ended, analysts at RBC Capital believe the company is on track to be acquired by Advent International by mid-year 2023. The analysts currently do not anticipate regulatory pushback of the acquisition by Advent, and reiterated their Sector Perform rating and $53 price target price on the acquisition assumption.
