Schneider Electric is close to a deal to acquire PTC, a US software group, for about $20 billion, the Financial Times reported. The deal would be the largest in Schneider's history. PTC makes software used to design and manage industrial equipment, a category known as product lifecycle management. Buying it would deepen Schneider's push into industrial software, adding digital tools to a business built mainly on electrical equipment and automation hardware. Terms have not been finalized and the companies have not confirmed the report. It is unclear whether the deal will be announced as a straight acquisition or include other structuring, and no closing date has been set.
What would change this view

If Schneider Electric or PTC deny the reported $20 billion figure or the talks collapse before a formal announcement, this framing would not hold.
