Clearwater Analytics Chief Technology Officer Souvik Das sold 88,848 shares of Class A common stock on February 18, 2026 for $23.4417 per share, generating roughly $2.08 million in proceeds. The sales, completed across three transactions, occurred the same day Das received 167,750 shares following the vesting of performance stock units. The activity comes as the company advances toward a go-private transaction and after a go-shop period closed without competing bids; several analysts have since trimmed ratings and adjusted price targets.

Key Points

  • CTO Souvik Das sold 88,848 Class A shares on Feb. 18, 2026 at $23.4417 per share, totaling about $2.08 million; sales occurred in three transactions.
  • On the same day Das received 167,750 Class A shares due to performance stock units vesting at a $0 price.
  • Clearwater’s go-shop period expired without alternative offers amid a planned acquisition by a group led by Permira and Warburg Pincus; multiple analysts downgraded the stock and set price targets at $24.55.
  • Company metrics cited include a $6.85 billion valuation, 62% revenue growth over the last twelve months, current unprofitability, and an analyst EPS forecast of $0.73 for fiscal 2026.

Souvik Das, the Chief Technology Officer at Clearwater Analytics Holdings, Inc., sold 88,848 shares of the company’s Class A common stock on February 18, 2026. Each share was sold at a price of $23.4417, producing total proceeds of about $2.08 million. The disposition was carried out in three separate transactions on that date.

On the same day as those sales, Das also received 167,750 shares of Class A common stock stemming from the vesting of performance stock units, at a price of $0 per share.

The stock trades near $23.30, and platform analysis indicates that this trading level is slightly higher than the platform’s calculated Fair Value, which has led to the company being placed on a Most Overvalued watchlist.


Company fundamentals cited in filings and announcements show Clearwater Analytics carries a market valuation of $6.85 billion. The business reported revenue growth of 62% over the last twelve months, despite remaining unprofitable on a current basis. Analysts polled by market consensus are projecting positive earnings per share of $0.73 for fiscal 2026.

In corporate activity related to a planned change of ownership, Clearwater announced that the go-shop period tied to an agreed sale has expired without attracting any alternative acquisition proposals. The pending transaction will see the company acquired by an investor group led by Permira and Warburg Pincus.

The proposed go-private deal has prompted several brokerages to revise their recommendations on Clearwater Analytics stock. Morgan Stanley downgraded its rating from Overweight to Equalweight and set a price target at $24.55. UBS lowered its view from Buy to Neutral and also set a $24.55 price target. DA Davidson moved from Buy to Neutral, citing the pending go-private transaction as a reason for the change.

Separately, Clearwater secured a multi-year mandate from Generali Deutschland to manage a €40 billion unit-linked life insurance fund business. The engagement is intended to consolidate Generali’s portfolio management and order execution processes onto Clearwater’s platform.


This series of insider transactions, the vesting of equity awards, the lack of competing acquisition bids during the go-shop window, analyst rating changes and a material client win are the principal public developments reported in filings and company announcements.

Risks

  • Pending go-private transaction - the outcome and timing could affect public investors and analyst coverage in the software and financial technology sectors.
  • Company remains unprofitable despite strong revenue growth - profitability risk could influence valuation and investor sentiment in capital markets and enterprise software.
  • Analyst downgrades and placement on an overvaluation watchlist - market perception risks may pressure the stock in the short term.
