M&A processes typically involve efforts from both parties until their conclusion, but this effort doesn't end there. In the last two years alone, over 600 publicly traded companies have been completed in Brazil, making it crucial to understand that the way a deal is announced to the market plays a significant role in the success of transactions after the event.
A Harvard Business Review (HBR) study was conducted to observe how investors reacted to transactions between 1995 and 2018 at short intervals after the day of the announcement, and how the company's shares performed over the year following the end of the transaction, in relation to other shares in the same sector.
Through this study, we noted that the initial reactions that impact share prices after the transaction announcement often reflect long-term consequences. Buyers need to inform investors about the deal's rationale so they understand why and how additional value will be created in the future, thus maintaining their appeal to current investors (in addition to attracting new ones). They must also ensure the market understands the long-term objective of their move.
To ensure the correct way to communicate with investors, we have outlined in the post below some essential points on how to correctly communicate with the investor base when announcing a transaction.

Algumas questões são essenciais na hora de anunciar uma transação para garantir o seu sucesso
A história a ser contada ao mercado deve abordar o porquê e como a empresa pode superar as expectativas existentes. Essa história deve conter metas operacionais defensáveis de se entregar e que os investidores possam monitorar ao longo do tempo
A apresentação aos investidores deve conter a equipe de alta gestão e as principais relações organizacionais quando o negócio for anunciado para evitar um vácuo de liderança que possa comprometer a integração das duas empresas e ser prejudicial à visão dos investidores
Se o prêmio da transação não for justificado pelas sinergias ou criar um problema de melhoria de desempenho que provavelmente não é alcançável, o valor do negócio poderá ser reduzido pelos investidores
