Episode 4: Let’s Talk About Divestitures—Strategy and Implementation

Many mergers and acquisitions (M&A) fail to deliver the anticipated results—some fail spectacularly. But the history of divestitures (disposing of non-core or non-performing assets by sale, spin-off, exchange, or other means) tells a much different story. When done for the right reasons and with careful execution, divestitures generate better and more consistent long-term returns than acquisitions. And divestitures aren’t just a defensive play to fend off an aggressive activist or offload a non-performing business unit. Instead, the best performing and most proactive companies use divestitures offensively to generate more certain returns and hit their long-term strategic goals.
