Braze (BRZE) shares ripped higher on Tuesday after Salesforce (CRM) said it is buying the customer engagement specialist in a deal that values it at about $5.66 billion, including debt. The all-cash offer gives BRZE shareholders a massive premium and strengthens CRM’s push into personalized, artificial intelligence (AI) enabled marketing.
Following today’s surge, Braze stock is trading at roughly 3x its price in late February.
