Activist investors may advocate changes they believe will raise a company’s share price. They can push for mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, operational changes, or corporate restructuring. Some focus on operational improvements, such as steadier cash flows, lower costs, or stronger risk management, while others advocate changes to the company’s mix of debt and equity financing. Others recommend changes to dividend policies or share buyback programs, challenge executive pay standards, or seek different approaches to environmental, social, and governance issues.
