LifeSpeak Inc. Price & Performance (LSPKF)

A consortium led by Beedie Capital has agreed to acquire LifeSpeak Inc. for $0.32 per share, a 28% premium to the recent 20-day average. The deal, unanimously recommended by LifeSpeak's board, follows significant financial headwinds and is expected to close in Q2 2025 pending shareholder and court approval.12

Canaccord Genuity raised its price target for LifeSpeak to C$0.32, aligning with the acquisition offer, while other analysts remain cautious. RBC Capital recently downgraded the stock to 'underperform' with a C$0.10 target, reflecting ongoing skepticism about the company's long-term prospects despite the pending transaction.34

LifeSpeak reported 2024 revenue of $48.4 million and an adjusted EBITDA margin of 24%, but client count and annual recurring revenue declined. The company remains in default on its term loan, underlining the financial pressures that prompted the go-private move. Discussions with lenders are ongoing as the transition approaches.56
