The Deal Room: Blackstone takes the hit on Bumble - why PE is taking a loss on its listed portfolio

Welcome to a brand new series coming at you every Wednesday where I'm joined by Stephen Barnett our Director of Corporate Finance at AmplifyME.The objective of 'The Deal Room' is to complement our end-of-week chat about global markets with a more M&A and Private Equity deal-focused discussion.To kick things off this week, we talk about why Private Equity groups are increasingly selling shares in portfolio companies at a discount to the price at which they went public, what's going on with the $69bn Microsoft purchase of Activision Blizzard, and discuss one of the biggest deals of the week - Chevron's $6.3bn bid for PDC Energy.Free daily newsletter https://bit.ly/3Oeu4WkFree Finance Accelerator simulation https://bit.ly/3GoyV5rConnect with Anthony https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthonycheung10/Connect with Stephen https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephen-barnett-0b8b3337/ Hosted on Acast.
