CVC explores a bid for Verisure just a year after its IPO

The shares of the security group listed in Sweden are trading 30% below their IPO price.

Translated from Spanish Read in Spanish

CVC is considering a bid to take Verisure, a Swedish security group, private. Verisure's shares have dropped 30% from their initial public offering price in October 2025, when Hellman & Friedman took the company public in Stockholm at a valuation of €13.7 billion. Hellman & Friedman still owns around 44% of Verisure. The potential deal is in its early stages and there is no guarantee it will happen. Verisure provides home alarm systems and is currently headquartered in Switzerland.
