CX Today’s roundup reports that Qualtrics completed a $6.75 billion acquisition of Press Ganey Forsta in May 2026.
What was reported
- The acquisition brings what the report calls healthcare’s largest experience dataset into Qualtrics’ AI-powered platform.

- The combination is meant to enable predictive, real-time interventions using AI rather than retrospective measurement.
Our read
For Qualtrics the deal is a bet that healthcare experience is where the largest dataset and the strongest recurring budgets sit. For customers the open questions are practical: whether product lines are merged, how benchmarking data is shared, and how patient data is governed. We read only one trade summary and did not find Qualtrics’ own announcement, so details beyond the price and facility count are not reported here.
