Stephens' long history as a principal investor provides the firm
with a unique perspective on strategic transactions. We bring
significant professional experience and financial resources to the
table and provide our clients with expert financial, strategic and
tactical advice.
Since 2004, Stephens has advised clients on more
than 200 merger and acquisition transactions with aggregate
transaction value in excess of $88 billion dollars. We frequently
act as intimate strategic advisor to boards deliberating
significant corporate transactions, and we have delivered 77
fairness opinions since the beginning of 2001. We provide
independent advice when our clients need it most, including
activist shareholder situations and hostile defense assignments,
where shareholder value is a premium.
Small & Middle-Market Transactions
In addition to this depth of large transactional experience,
Stephens has built a strong presence in the small- and
middle-market M&A area, characterized by privately held and
publicly traded companies valued from $50 million to $500
million.
Trusted Advisor
In many cases, Stephens M&A transactions have transformed
our clients into industry leaders. Our clients rely on the depth of
our knowledge and experience and on our expert strategic
advice.
