European Wax Center stock shifted into private ownership through a USD 5.80 cash merger effective May 11, 2026. Robinhood states that the transaction removed the shares and paid shareholders USD 5.80 per share in cash.

Cash settlement closes public chapter

MarketMinute reports that General Atlantic completed the take-private transaction on May 8, 2026, with stockholders set to receive USD 5.80 per share in cash. The two dates describe the completion announcement and the later corporate-action effective date.

The valuation stands out against the companys public-market debut. European Wax Center began trading on Nasdaq on August 5, 2021, at USD 17.00 per share, meaning the cash consideration was USD 11.20 below the IPO price, a 65.9 percent difference.

Consumer products add a current marker

While the equity became private, the operating brand continued to release products. StockTitan reported on September 2, 2026, that the EWC SLOW Golden Orchard Body Butter and Body Polish launched nationwide, with each product priced at USD 16.50 from September 1, 2026.

The product launch illustrates the companys shift from a listed-stock story to a private consumer-services business. The relevant investor figure is now the documented cash settlement rather than a live exchange quotation.

USD 5.80 sets the final reference

European Wax Center stock is represented by the USD 5.80 per-share cash consideration dated May 11, 2026. That figure is the final reference for the completed cash merger and should be read alongside the USD 17.00 IPO price from August 2021, not as an active Nasdaq market quote.
