EQT announced Thursday, Oct. 15, 2026, that it agreed to buy U.S. real estate manager Stockbridge for $375 million in cash at closing, with up to $175 million in earnouts from 2027 to 2030, valuing the deal at up to $550 million. Stockbridge has about $16.5 billion in fee-generating assets under management and $27 billion in gross asset value. Closing is expected in the first quarter of 2027. The purchase follows EQT's Coller Capital acquisition, closed for up to $3.7 billion at the end of August; Coller has been consolidated since Aug. 31 and now operates as Coller EQT. EQT reported Q3 results with the Stockbridge news: gross inflows of €41.6 billion, fee-generating AUM of €195 billion versus €139 billion a year earlier, and total AUM of €354 billion versus €267 billion. Funds invested €7 billion plus €2 billion in co-investment. Chief executive Per Franzén said the firm remains "focused on driving monetisations and liquidity." No disputed facts appear in the available coverage; only center-rated MarketScreener headlines reported the price and valuation.

Closing in early 2027 gives both sides time to sort out the platform integration without rushing.

The 375 million price plus earnouts looks fair given the 16.5 billion in assets coming over.
