AltsWire reports that EQT agreed to acquire Stockbridge for $375 million in cash at closing, plus potential earnouts of up to $175 million. The real estate manager brings approximately $16.5 billion of fee-generating assets under management.

Closing is planned for early 2027, with investor consents among the conditions still to be met. Stockbridge's industrial operation would join EQT's industrial platform, while its diversified and alternative strategies would form a separate business line. The report also notes Stockbridge's recent expansion into private-wealth distribution.
