Public to Privates

The market for public-to-private deals is rapidly evolving as many smaller publicly quoted companies remain undervalued and feel generally failed by the market. This survey by BDO Stoy Hayward assesses the general sentiment surrounding the issue of public-to-privates.

Management teams, private equity providers and institutional investors all expect an increase in activity over the coming months. Over half the senior executives surveyed will consider a P2P in the next two years and 60 per cent of institutional investors will now consider it as an option. This will provide a steady source of deal flow for many private equity houses.
