Blackstone (BX) Purchases Vista’s Cvent Stake in $1.3 Billion Transaction

Blackstone Inc. (NYSE:BX) is one of the best high growth stocks. On July 2, Bloomberg, citing sources close to the matter, reported that Blackstone Inc. (NYSE:BX) will take over Vista Equity’s minority position in Cvent Holding Corp for $1.3 billion.

The transaction represents Vista’s total departure from Cvent, following Blackstone’s $4.6 billion buyout in 2023, during which Vista had preserved a minority interest through a non-convertible preferred equity structure.

Vista initially acquired Cvent, a Virginia-based event management software company, in 2016 through a $1.7 billion transaction. During its ownership period, Cvent faced substantial operational challenges stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, which severely disrupted the global events and hospitality sectors.
