They are amazing at juicing a stock price for a few quarters, enough time to make some money after buying shares and then ripping the money back out after squeezing all the remaining juice out but crushing the fruit on the vine. They are horrible at ensuring the plant itself survives for future seasons, as they rip all the roots out and stomp all over the plant in the process.
What I don’t understand is shouldn’t this create market opportunity for companies that focus on quality products? Or is it just not possible for such a company to gain a foothold against PE value juicing/extraction corporate strategies?
