Arco Platform LimitedNASDAQ: ARCE

Arco Platform, a Brazilian education company, is going private, offering $14 per share, which doesn't align with my DCF model's fair value estimate. The company's history of aggressive mergers and acquisitions has led to a significant debt load, and the pandemic further challenged its financial health. Investors should consider selling their shares in the open market if the price exceeds $14 before the go-private transaction to secure profits and reduce uncertainties.

Arco Platform Limited (ARCE) came out with a quarterly loss of $0.24 per share versus the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of $0.16. This compares to loss of $0.08 per share a year ago.
