Putting the Pieces Together
Article Abstract:
David Moore analyzes conglomerates and their activities. He has been watching a group of thirty-one companies for more than three years. He believes that the leveraged buyout activity has become frenzied lately. Therefore, he believes it should begin to ease off. A likely candidate for a leveraged buyout would be a collection of businesses that has an unusually high cash flow, a balance sheet that is pretty clean, and a smart, aggressive management. A conglomerate is a company that is in three major economic sectors that are perceived by investors to be conglomerates, and have a market capitalization of $200 million or more. Companies called conglomerates have actually outperformed the market until 1981. After that their earnings have flattened. He believes that many conglomerates are not attractive to investors because they have not performed up to expectations recently. He is very favorable about many conglomerates and details his recommendations.
