Strategic acquisitions are a key component of
creating shareholder wealth. Whether a public
or a private company, wealth creation is predicated
on revenue and earnings growth. There are very
few industries where companies can achieve
significant shareholder wealth through internal
growth alone. Acquisitions become a key component
of a diversified growth strategy.
Stephens & Partners believes great acquirers employ
a proactive and disciplined process to their
merger and acquisition activities. When the
right opportunity becomes available, the successful
acquirer will distinguish itself from other buyers
and will be prepared to move quickly, pay a "strategic price" and create "real
shareholder value".
At
Stephens & Partners, we are dedicated to those
companies looking to grow through strategic
acquisitions. Furthermore, we believe many of
these successful acquisitions can be achieved on a
negotiated, non-auction basis. While
many sellers will continue to employ financial intermediaries
in the selling process, we believe a proactive buyer
using a disciplined approach will capture significant
additional
value for its shareholders.
Stephens & Partners wants to work with management
teams looking to build great companies. We
have designed the
Stephens
Five-Step Process to give
our clients a higher probability of completing
successful acquisitions. From our upfront
research to our strategic approach, to our careful
monitoring of potential targets, to the closing of
transactions, our efforts are geared to finding the
right strategic acquisition at the right price.
