Blackstone Group is trading 14.45% up now at $143.55 after announcing an agreement to acquire Flow Control Holdings, a provider of engineered liquid-cooling components for AI data centers.

  • Terms undisclosed; transaction expected to close in the fourth quarter.
  • Deal provides exposure to data-center infrastructure and liquid-cooling demand; broader markets remained cautious after hotter-than-expected producer inflation.
  • Move sharply contrasts with September 10 regular-session close of $125.43; no after-hours volume was provided, limiting assessment of trading activity.
