RE: Gatemore want the old CEO re-appointed & sale of Yougov14 Jan 2025 11:13
Good letter from 'Gatemore Capital' if you read it - basically an attack on Steve Hatch & lack of management skills (no opinion)
- strong convictions that YouGov is an attractive business with strong fundamentals and exceptional potential
- beliefs that the Company’s intrinsic value far exceeds the current public market valuation, and that the Company’s
recent underperformance primarily stems from management missteps and an unsuccessful leadership transition
- With the right management team and strategy, an acquirer could pay a takeover price in excess of 700p per share, or more than 80% above current share price4, while still achieving an over 3x multiple-of-money return over five years
!!very interested in response from Yougov
