July 16 (Reuters) – Investment firm Coatue Management is leading a $3 billion investment in data analytics provider Databricks that values the company at $188 billion, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter.
Databricks, one of the world’s most valuable privately held technology companies, earlier this year completed a fundraising round of about $5 billion at a valuation of $134 billion.
Coatue and Databricks could not immediately be reached for comment outside business hours.
