Desktop (BRDESKACNOR2) saw Claro NXT acquire 72.83 percent of its voting capital for BRL 1.747 billion on October 1, 2026. El Fondo reported that the transaction transferred control of the Brazilian broadband provider to Claro NXT, with the buyer paying BRL 20.63 per share. The immediate investor question is how the tender offer will shape the remaining listed equity.

Tender offer follows control transfer

The acquisition covered 84.7 million common shares and was followed by a planned tender offer for minority holders at the same per-share consideration. The transaction also opens a possible route toward a change in Desktop's registration category and an exit from B3's Novo Mercado, according to Brazil Stock Guide on October 20, 2026.

What does the transaction change?

For Desktop, the key change is ownership rather than a new operating target. Claro said the acquisition would expand its fixed broadband reach and integrate Desktop's customer base and network infrastructure, while the tender-offer process gives minority investors a defined corporate-action timetable.

Three dated steps in the deal

On August 12, 2026, Desktop's latest reported release showed second-quarter revenue of BRL 321.64 million and earnings per share of BRL 0.12, compared with revenue expectations of BRL 317.52 million, according to Investing.com. On October 1, Claro NXT acquired 72.83 percent of Desktop for BRL 1.747 billion. On October 2, Claro NXT filed for a tender offer covering the remaining shares, according to the transaction coverage from Brazil Stock Guide.

Next reporting date

Desktop's next earnings release is scheduled for November 11, 2026, according to Investing.com. That date will give investors a fresh operating reference after the change of control and before the tender-offer process is fully resolved.
