Open Text ( (TSE:OTEX) ) has provided an announcement.
On May 11, 2026, OpenText announced it had completed the sale of Vertica, a non-core structured data analytics platform within its analytics portfolio, to Rocket Software for US$150 million in cash before taxes, fees and other adjustments. The deal, which transfers Vertica’s software, customer contracts, services and staff to Rocket Software, supports OpenText’s strategy of exiting non-core assets, focusing investment on core businesses and using the proceeds to pay down debt, with implications for a more streamlined balance sheet and tighter strategic focus.
Management framed the divestiture as part of a disciplined capital allocation approach aimed at optimizing growth and long-term value creation for clients, partners and shareholders. By shedding a non-core analytics asset and redirecting capital and attention to its main data management and enterprise AI operations, OpenText seeks to sharpen its competitive positioning in a crowded enterprise software market and improve financial flexibility for future initiatives.

Spark’s Take on OTEX Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, OTEX is a Neutral.
The score is driven primarily by solid underlying financial performance (strong margins and improved profitability, but still meaningful leverage) and attractive valuation (low P/E with a strong dividend). Technicals are mixed with only modest near-term momentum versus a weaker long-term trend, while the earnings call adds support via raised cloud/bookings/free-cash-flow targets despite some cash flow and legacy-revenue pressures.
