The transaction is expected to close in early 2027 and is projected to be accretive to earnings in that year.

At $3B, this represents ~3.8% of company market cap—meaningful but not transformational. Expands adjacent category; accretive guidance positive. Execution risk and integration uncertainty in uncertain macro environment temper upside.
