Activist shareholders are gearing up to intensify their push for corporate changes as dealmaking activities rebound in the latter half of 2025. Despite a quiet second quarter, with a drop in campaigns by 16% compared to the first quarter, investors are expected to press for leadership changes, operational improvements, and spin-offs. Major activists, including established firms like Elliott Investment Management and new entrants, are preparing for campaigns, with a focus on private negotiations before making demands public. Companies are also bracing for increased pressure and are hiring advisers to assess vulnerabilities.
