While 2025 has had a slower start following the record pace of 2024, S&P Global Market Intelligence anticipates an uptick in shareholder activism.

To prepare for potential activist campaigns, we invite you to join our Activist Defense experts as they discuss essential insights for Corporate Issuers and their counsel regarding the current activist landscape. Learn how activists build positions and discover the tools available to better detect such movements before announcements.

Our panel will highlight the innovative data, intelligence, and technology that are transforming the detection of activist threats, including:

• Differentiated activism data and analytics: Trend analysis, campaign insights, professional profiles, and corporate governance assessments.
• Executive-ready reporting: Tailored daily reports designed for executives and boards of directors.
• Expert insights: Access to a vast client network to identify trends and behaviors of activist investors at the custodian level.
• Activist Threat Indicator tool: A comprehensive tool that combines public and proprietary datasets, backed by data science, incorporating firm, fund, custodian, fundamental, market, and portfolio data.
• Capital Insight: An interactive, on-demand tool for tracking custodian movement, broker lending, and derivatives trading, utilizing a predictive surveillance model.

“S&P Global Market Intelligence’s knowledge of activist tendencies and early activist identification is second to none. They alerted us to activist action even while we had a proxy firm engaged at the time. S&P Global continues to be one of our most trusted advisors.” – Fortune 300 Consumer Services, SVP of Investor Relations
