RPMGlobal (ASX:RUL), the mining software company, was acquired by Caterpillar in a deal that rewarded long-term holders. In June 2026, Forager Funds described RPMGlobal as a textbook example of value being recognised by an industry buyer, after being one of its largest investments for years, helped by industry-leading products. Lakehouse noted RPMGlobal received a $5 per share takeover offer from Caterpillar shortly after reporting its first period as a pure software business, and Seneca said it had previously flagged Caterpillar as a likely acquirer, with the bid around 230% above its entry price. RPMGlobal operates in the Information Technology sector within the Software industry, and Thesis Tracker has captured 29 comments from 10 fund managers, including Forager, Lakehouse and Seneca. Founded in 1968 and headquartered in Brisbane, RPMGlobal provides mine planning, scheduling, asset management and financial software to the global mining industry.
