Insights By This Professional

COVID-19 has exposed underlying fragilities in many businesses that may have been disguised over recent years. As Warren Buffett famously said, it is only “when the tide goes out” that you find which companies and management teams are most exposed. “Before the pandemic, broadly favorable market conditions and inexpensive capital allowed management teams to kick the can down the road on transformation initiatives.
