    "summary": "PTC was US$192.75 at 00:06:35 SGT on 6 October, leaving US$12.25 to its conditional US$205 cash offer. Schneider expects new equity and debt funding. Target holders face closing and waiting risk; buyer holders face funding and integration risk. This remains a watch with no entry.",
    "signal_claim": "The dated cash-session quote adds a verified price clock to PTC’s existing deal watch. The US$205 cash consideration stays fixed unless the terms change, while PTC’s price can move. Schneider expects €5–6 billion of equity and €16–17 billion of new debt, creating a separate funding and ownership-dilution question. The price gap does not measure completion probability or promise a return. Closing is anticipated by the third quarter of 2027, subject to conditions.",

      "updated_finding": "The dated cash-session quote adds a verified price clock to PTC’s existing deal watch. The US$205 cash consideration stays fixed unless the terms change, while PTC’s price can move. Schneider expects €5–6 billion of equity and €16–17 billion of new debt, creating a separate funding and ownership-dilution question. The price gap does not measure completion probability or promise a return. Closing is anticipated by the third quarter of 2027, subject to conditions."
