Meagan Reda Quoted in Bloomberg Law on Expectations for Shareholder Activism in the Second Half of 2025

Olshan Shareholder Activism partner Meagan Reda was recently quoted in a Bloomberg Law article (subscription required) discussing expectations for shareholder activism throughout the second half of 2025.  Activists are looking for as much transparency as possible from companies, Meagan noted, following the regulatory and legal uncertainty that marked the first half. Going into 2025, she expected more deal-focused demands in light of lower interest rates and the Trump administration’s deregulatory push. Instead, market volatility put a lid on those discussions, and activists continued to focus on operational changes, capital allocation strategies and governance issues, she said. “This level of uncertainty kind of fuels settlements from both sides” as both companies and their shareholders try to manage risk, Meagan said.
