Schneider Electric in talks to buy US-listed PTC for about $20B
AI take
A French industrial group reaching for a US-listed software developer is less about scale than about where industrial value is migrating: hardware increasingly competes on the software layer that governs it. The reported price tag signals how much incumbents are willing to pay to own that layer rather than license it. The open question is whether regulators and PTC's shareholder base treat a cross-border software acquisition as strategically routine or sensitive.
