Soho House & Co ( (SHCO) ) has issued an update.
On August 15, 2025, Soho House & Co Inc. agreed to be taken private via a merger with EH Parent LLC, an affiliate of The Yucaipa Companies, through a structure in which EH MergerSub Inc. will merge into Soho House, leaving the company as the surviving entity. The deal financing has come under pressure after MCR Hospitality Fund IV informed Yucaipa on January 5, 2026 that it would not be able to fund in full its previously committed $200 million equity purchase in Merger Sub at $9 per share by the anticipated closing date, forcing Yucaipa, Soho House’s special committee and their advisers to seek replacement or supplemental funding from MCR affiliates and other parties with no assurance of success. Despite this uncertainty around a key funding component, Soho House plans to proceed with its January 9, 2026 special meeting for shareholders to vote on adoption of the merger agreement and the parties continue to aim to close the transaction as soon as all conditions are satisfied, leaving the timing and certainty of completion a central concern for investors and other stakeholders.
The most recent analyst rating on (SHCO) stock is a Hold with a $8.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Soho House & Co stock, see the SHCO Stock Forecast page.
