CCC Intelligent Solutions Agrees to $6.1B Buyout
Owners of vehicles repaired through CCC's insurance software network should watch for changes as the company goes private by 2027.
Updated on Nov. 4, 2026 in Auto Parts
CCC Intelligent Solutions agreed to a buyout by a GTCR-led consortium that includes Elliott Investment Management. Shareholders would receive $7.75 per share in cash if the deal closes, and the company would no longer be listed on Nasdaq.
Why it matters
The deal values CCC at roughly $6.1 billion and moves a company whose software links more than 35,000 businesses, including insurers, repair shops, automakers and parts suppliers, into private ownership. For households dealing with insurance claims and collision repairs, the practical effect will depend on how the new owners run the platform after closing.
The $7.75 per share offer sits about 44% above CCC's July 9 closing price, which preceded media speculation about a sale. The enterprise value of approximately $6.1 billion makes this one of the larger buyouts in the company's software-driven repair and claims niche.
The players
CCC Intelligent Solutions
A software company whose platform connects insurers, repair shops, automakers and parts suppliers, and is the target of this buyout.
GTCR
A private equity firm leading the buyout consortium that would take CCC private.
Elliott Investment Management
An activist investment firm and member of the GTCR-led consortium backing the buyout.
The details
CCC Intelligent Solutions shareholders would receive $7.75 per share in cash once the transaction completes. Directors approved the deal after reviewing strategic alternatives, and the transaction remains subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals along with other customary conditions. CCC will stay independently operated and publicly traded until the deal closes, and GTCR and Elliott plan to support further investment in product development and AI capabilities.

The Home Front
The deal follows a wave of private equity take-privates of publicly traded software companies that supply the insurance and collision repair industries, which shape what homeowners pay out of pocket after a vehicle claim. Because CCC's platform is tied to the claims process, changes in its ownership can influence repair costs that eventually reach household budgets.
If you have an open auto insurance claim or are planning a collision repair, keep your estimates and repair documentation on file, since the software platform involved links insurers and repair shops. Expect no immediate change to how your claim is handled, because the deal will not close until the first quarter of 2027 at the earliest.
The takeaway
Ownership changes at the software companies that connect insurers and repair shops can eventually affect repair estimates and claim timelines. Keep copies of your claim paperwork and repair estimates so you can compare them if costs or processing change in the coming years.
