What happened
Beretta launched a cash tender offer to purchase up to 2,400,184 shares of Sturm, Ruger & Co. for $44.80 per share. This price represents an approximate 21% premium over the September 16, 2026, closing price. The Federal Trade Commission approved the stock purchase consent order, allowing Beretta to increase its ownership stake to as much as 25%, provided it does not nominate Beretta-affiliated individuals to Ruger's board of directors. The offer is scheduled to expire on October 15, 2026.
Why it matters
The tender offer allows Beretta to significantly expand its presence in the United States market through the acquisition of a stake in Ruger. The FTC approval settles allegations that the proposed stock purchase would violate federal corporate regulatory laws. The successful completion of the purchase would solidify Beretta's presence in the firearms sector.
