Private Equity Siege on FTSE 100

from The Daily News Now! Business

Britains FTSE 100 is under threat from private equity buyouts, with Intertek, a global testing and inspection firm, recently acquired by Swedish firm EQT for a 62% premium. This trend involves boards initially resisting offers, then caving under pressure from activists and hedge funds, leading to debt-laden firms. Meanwhile, the UKs growth plans face uncertainty due to government chaos, and defense tech is heating up with Andurils sixty-one billion dollar valuation.
