This strategic move, prompted by recommendations from hedge fund Starboard Value and other activist shareholders, aims to reduce the company’s hefty debt load and enhance profitability. As of June 30, Algonquin reported long-term debts approximating $8.3 billion, accumulated through extensive acquisitions over recent years. The deal, advised by J.P. Morgan, is anticipated to close between Q4 2024 and Q1 2025. Algonquin's stock has shown modest growth despite these financial maneuvers, marking a 2% increase this year. #RenewableEnergy #MergersAndAcquisitions #CorporateFinance #AlgonquinPower #LS_Power #JP_Morgan https://lnkd.in/gmsQizZD
