Please see below a fact-sheet containing statistics on activist investments from March 2018 (click on the image itself for a clearer view).
The number of companies publicly subjected to activist demands rose in Q1 2018 by comparison with the same period a year ago, led by the hot starts in the U.S., Canada, and Asia. European and U.K. campaigns were less numerous than in the same period a year ago, however.
Another notable data point highlights a move away from financial targets to basic materials, services, and industrials as a proportion of the total.
For any questions about the data, or if you have a follow-up request, please contact Josh Black at [email protected]. Please note that bespoke data requests may take 24-48 hours depending on the amount of manual work required.
We look forward to assisting you with your articles.
Kind regards,
