Ahead of the upcoming #EuronextSTARConference by Borsa Italiana in Milan, where Alantra is the co-organizing broker, Luca A., Head of Italian Equity Research at Alantra, spoke on the panel ‘Market Context for Mid & Small Caps: The Analysts' Perspective.’ The panel explored the underperformance of small caps versus big caps and strategies to enhance their visibility and attract a broader investor base. 💡 Luca explains that “a combined approach—improving research coverage, enhancing communication, and implementing fiscal and liquidity incentives—could help reignite investor interest in mid-small caps, driving a re-rating and a convergence towards European and large-cap valuation multiples.” Watch the full interview (in Italian) 👉 https://lnkd.in/dA5tNwgy If you’re interested in Italian small- and mid-caps, don’t hesitate to connect with the Alantra team at the event, which will take place on March 25-27 at Palazzo Mezzanotte in Milan! #CorporateBroking #Euronext #EuronextSTAR #ItalianMidCaps

Francisco De Juan, Managing Partner at Alantra Asset Management & CIO of EQMC, recently appeared on ausbiz’s The Global View to discuss undervalued European small caps as an investment opportunity and EQMC’s friendly activist investment approach. He highlighted successful examples—such as CIE Automotive in Spain and Alimak in Sweden—to showcase how EQMC acquires stakes in promising small caps and supports their growth into mid-cap companies. By targeting under-researched sectors, this approach effectively capitalizes on price-value gaps for long-term gains.

This weekend, El Confidencial published an article on the rising interest of private equity firms in professional services companies. Richard Holden, Partner at Alantra in London, and Carlos Rodríguez-Viña, Partner at Alantra in Madrid, who are quoted in the article, explained that private equity firms are increasingly drawn to this sector due to its stable and recurring revenue streams, which make it resilient during crises. The market's high fragmentation offers consolidation opportunities and allows for investment diversification as traditional sectors face uncertainty. This growing interest is further fueled by regulatory pressure to separate accounting from consulting, talent shortages, and the urgent need for investment in digitalization and AI to stay competitive. These demands require significant capital to transform business models and enhance capabilities, while many firms face liquidity challenges due to partnership structures and leadership succession issues.
