Bed Bath & Beyond agrees to acquire Fathom Holdings
Bed Bath & Beyond, Inc. (NYSE: BBBY) has signed an agreement to acquire Fathom Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: FTHM), a technology-driven real estate services platform that integrates residential brokerage, mortgage, title, insurance and software-as-a-service offerings.
Fathom operates a proprietary cloud-based software platform called intelliAgent. The acquisition is intended to expand Bed Bath & Beyond's presence in what the company calls its "Homeownership & Transactions" pillar, alongside its existing omnichannel commerce and home services operations.
The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions, including approval from Fathom's stockholders and required regulatory approvals.
"Fathom brings important capabilities across brokerage, mortgage, title, insurance and technology that strengthen our Homeownership & Transactions pillar," said Marcus Lemonis, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Bed Bath & Beyond.
Additional details regarding the transaction are expected to be provided in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and during a conference call with investors. Bed Bath & Beyond will file a registration statement on Form S-4 that will include a proxy statement from Fathom.
