activist investing

Activist investing is a strategy where investors, often individuals or hedge funds, buy significant stakes in a company to influence its management and decision-making. They aim to improve the company's performance and unlock shareholder value, often by pushing for changes like restructuring, cost-cutting, or strategic shifts. Activists typically engage in discussions with the company’s leaders and may even seek seats on the board. Their ultimate goal is to enhance the company's value, benefiting both the company and their own investments. This approach can lead to significant changes within the target company.
