Miro acquisition closing • 2026-12-31

Base target: $33 / p=50% prob

Biggest risk

Only 3% Q2 organic revenue growth accompanied the acquisition-led revenue increase. Q2-end net debt was $4.09 billion, and further large transactions increase financing and integration risk.

What would change my mind?

Q2 adjusted operating income reached $381 million on $704 million of revenue, and management forecast 2026 revenue of $2.78–$2.82 billion for the portfolio owned as of August 12. Successful Airtable integration and Miro closing could expand the earnings base. [SEC-filed earnings release](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2004711/000200471126000011/bsp_ex99-1.htm)

Commentary

Recent coverage centers on Miro, but the supplied news packet does not establish a measured post-announcement price reaction. No verified analyst revisions, options skew, short interest, employee score, or sufficient social-sentiment data were supplied; zeros in the sentiment fields mean unavailable, not neutral measured readings. The $32.80 anchor is dated September 24. Evidence supports event monitoring rather than a strong directional call.

Miro acquisition closing
Bending Spoons agreed to acquire Miro for $1.355 billion in enterprise value. Closing is expected in Q4 2026 but remains subject to regulatory approvals and other conditions; completion is not assured. [#SEC-6K-2026-09-10] [SEC filing](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2004711/000200471126000015/bsp-20260910x6k.htm)

EVENT2026-12-31
First outlook incorporating Airtable
The Airtable acquisition closed on September 4. Bending Spoons said its August outlook excluded Airtable and that it expects to incorporate the business when it next reports results; that report date has not been confirmed here. The key test is the contribution and integration costs, not the acquisition announcement alone.

Organic growth versus acquisition-led growth
2027-06-30
Q2 revenue rose 126% year over year to $704 million, primarily through acquisitions, while reported organic growth was 3%. Sustained organic growth and cash conversion would strengthen the acquisition-compounding thesis; a widening gap would weaken it. This is a monitoring horizon, not a company-announced milestone. [#PR-Q2-2026-08-13] [SEC-filed earnings release](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2004711/000200471126000011/bsp_ex99-1.htm)
