Monitor the pending Tolling sale to Quarterhill for completion before year-end 2026, which would complete Conduent's exit from Transportation. Track debt reduction trajectory and any further portfolio simplification moves. The $12 million special holdback tied to customer completion dates is a potential upside catalyst if released.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
Conduent completed the sale of its Public Transit Business to Modaxo for a base purchase price of $164 million, receiving $140 million in cash at closing on October 1, 2026. Net proceeds of $125 million will be used to repay the revolving credit facility, reducing long-term debt from $697 million to $572 million on a pro forma basis. The divestiture simplifies Conduent's portfolio and strengthens its balance sheet, with a pending Tolling sale expected to complete the exit from the Transportation segment.
