Duck Creek is the leading cloud-based SaaS provider of core systems for the global property and casualty (P&C) and general insurance industry. Its recent financial results demonstrate the company's leadership position. For example, on January 5, 2023, Duck Creek announced its financial results for the first quarter ended November 30, 2022, reporting a 23% year-over-year increase in subscription revenue and a 24% increase in SaaS annual recurring revenue. Despite the strong growth prospects, Duck Creek's board of directors, including a special committee of the board, determined to sell the company to Vista.

Julie & Holleman is investigating potential legal claims available to Duck Creek's shareholders regarding the proposed acquisition, including claims related to whether the $19 per share deal price is adequate. Within the last year alone, Duck Creek stock traded over $30 per share, which suggests that Vista is pouncing on short-term trends to acquire the company at a steep discount. Indeed, Duck Creek's recent financial results suggest that the company is trending upward. Certain financial analysts have also established price targets much higher than the merger price, including one target as high as $22 per share.
