Sapiens, an insurtech company, is set to be acquired by private equity fund Advent in a deal valuing Sapiens at $2.5 billion, marking one of the largest exits of the year.

The deal is expected to close between Q4 2025 and Q1 2026, pending regulatory approvals. Sapiens has faced challenges in penetrating the U.S. market and transitioning to cloud services, impacting short-term profitability.
