Confluent Stock Price Caps at $31 as IBM Closes $11 Billion Buyout and CFLT Trading Ends

Confluent Stock Price Caps at $31 as IBM Closes $11 Billion Buyout and CFLT Trading Ends

Confluent Inc wrapped up its public-market stint at $31 per share, the figure set after IBM finalized its $11 billion acquisition ahead of the opening bell on March 17. Nasdaq reported CFLT trading was halted following after-hours moves on March 16, with suspension kicking in on March 18. Final market prints landed at $30.99, just shy of the $31.00 mark hit earlier. The merger spread has disappeared; there's no gap left between Confluent's trading price and IBM's cash offer. With that, earlier holders are just holding out for their payout, not eyeing any fresh stock action. IBM, meanwhile, is set to tuck Confluent’s data-streaming software—tech that handles real-time data—into its AI and hybrid-cloud services.

IBM stock price rebounds after Anthropic’s COBOL claim rattles mainframe bulls

New York, Feb 24, 2026, 10:45 EST — Regular session IBM shares recovered 4.8% to hit $234.08 during Tuesday’s morning session, clawing back some ground after a sharp drop of over 10% the previous day.

IBM and Meta bring AI Alliance to Indonesia as IBM shares rise; Australia reviews Confluent deal

IBM and Meta bring AI Alliance to Indonesia as IBM shares rise; Australia reviews Confluent deal

IBM and Meta are bringing their AI Alliance to Indonesia, ramping up efforts to promote open-source artificial intelligence—where anyone can see and tweak the code. The alliance’s reach is now 29 countries, 195 members. According to a recent IBM CEO Study, 61% of Indonesian firms are using “AI agents,” tools built to handle tasks and planning. Still, just 27% reported their latest AI systems hit the ROI they were aiming for, Tech in Asia said. Indonesia has positioned AI as a key driver for growth, and the UN’s development agency estimates that AI-driven investments might boost GDP by roughly $366 billion by 2030. On the ground, though, the lofty projections run into practical snags—tight data regulations, not enough trained talent, and basic doubts about whether the technology delivers returns.
