On November 11, 2018, SAP announced its agreement to acquire Qualtrics, a provider of customer and employee experience measurement, for $8 billion in cash. Qualtrics was set to IPO this week at a valuation of $5 billion with plans to raise $500 million. The company turned its first profit of $2.6 million in 2017 on revenue of just under $290 million.
