The return of activist shareholders
After a year-long pause, M&A activity has returned, and activist investors are once again scanning the corporate landscape for opportunities. On this episode of M&A Views, we unpack the business situations that attract investment activity, taking a closer look at traditional opportunities, such as company underperformance or excess liquidity; newer trends like special-purpose acquisition companies (SPACs); and the increasing appeal of firms that incorporate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles into their everyday decision-making process.
My best advice for directors is: Think like an activist. How has the business environment changed? And has that created any gaps or vulnerabilities for your company that might attract an activist?
