Confluent
Confluent provides a commercial data streaming platform built around Apache Kafka, used by enterprises to move and process real-time data, including for AI applications. IBM completed its $11 billion acquisition of Confluent in mid-March 2026, expected to create about $600 million of dilution for IBM in FY2026; prior to the acquisition, Confluent reported FY2025 subscription revenue of $1.12 billion (up 21% year-over-year) and had introduced Confluent Intelligence and Streaming Agents for real-time orchestration between AI agents and enterprise data streams.
