2024 European and US Activism Review Last year in Europe, activism in the UK and Germanic markets remained robust, according to a new report by ISS | Institutional Shareholder Services Special Situations Research unit. However, and for the first time in at least a decade, there were no activist campaigns in the Southern European markets spanning Italy, Spain, and Portugal. It’s unclear whether these market-specific trends will persist, but activism across the wider region is expected to remain strong in 2025. In fact, if the early signs of increased activity persist over the next 10 months, 2025 could be a record-breaking year. In the United States, meanwhile, the report suggests several themes from 2024 are also carrying over into the start of the new year. For example, succession planning was a key point of focus for Trian Fund Management, L.P. in its campaign at The Walt Disney Company. It was also a criticism at Masimo, where activist investor Politan’s multi-year campaign revealed concerns with various elements of corporate governance. There is no sign at this point that activism focused on succession planning or activism at large-cap companies will slow down, according to the report.
