Murchinson Ltd., a stockholder of TaskUs, Inc., issued an open letter detailing its opposition to the proposed take-private transaction by Blackstone and the company's co-founders at $16.50 per share. Murchinson believes the offer significantly undervalues TaskUs.
The activist investor contends that the fair value for TaskUs shares should be at least $19.00 per share, arguing the deal is a result of a flawed process that benefits controlling stockholders at the expense of minority shareholders. Murchinson highlighted TaskUs's strong position in content moderation, AI development, and digital customer experience outsourcing.
Murchinson projects TaskUs to generate between $75 million and $120 million of free cash flow in 2025, further supporting its view of undervaluation. The firm announced its intention to vote AGAINST the transaction, urging other stockholders to do the same.
