Now, almost 2yrs later, … w/the #merger stalled for months, #DigitalWorld is fast approaching a Sept 8 deadline for the merger to close & has scheduled a #shareholder meeting for Tues in hopes of getting enough votes to #extend the deadline another year.

#BP’s £2bn profits cause anger amid #climatecrisis
#Oil and #gas company will increase its #shareholder #dividends by 10% to $2.3bn, despite the worse than expected profits. It will also return a further $1.5bn to investors through a share buyback over the next three months. #RussiaUkraineWar helped BP triple its profits in the second quarter of last year to $8.5bn, the second-best quarterly profit result in the company’s history.

"Die Dein­dus­trialisierung in Deutschland nimmt schleichend Fahrt auf" meint Zip*e vom #Burgenbauer B*W.

#Deindustrialisierung auf #Schleichfahrt also.
Wie so ein beknacktes Uboot, das dann überraschend 👉🏻👈🏻 irgendwo auftaucht.

Um das klarzustellen: die #Deindustrialisierung von #Deutschland findet statt, weil irgendwelche #Managermuppets mit Billigung der #Shareholder aus #Profitgier seit Jahrzehnten fleißig #KnowHowExport betrieben haben.

Divest/exit or stand firm (stay invested) & protest/(give) voice? Which = more effective action at promoting corporate social change (focus on the "S" in ESG)?

Research on influence of ~3,200 US mutual funds on ~2,600 US-listed/HQed firms, (2013 to 2020). Interesting methodology. I still have questions, but this is an interesting paper. https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4476123

[TLDNR: cet. par. activism/voice = 🏆 > exit]

Today at #Google's SF office - along with our #shareholder resolution, we staged an action challenging the company's plans to partner with #Saudi Aramco. Here's local news overage showing our life size cutouts of #Pinchar and #MBS who holds a bloody bone saw with signs reading No Deals with Murderers. Presenting our proposal at today's annual meeting was a Saudi activist who has lost friend's to the government's brutality. https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/protest-google-saudi-arabia-data-center/3243435/

We raised the issue of political bias by #Meta in #India in a #shareholder resolution this week. With Meta's dual share structure, it's impossible to win a vote but we achieved @17% support, quite high for a first filing -- and we will continue with our partners.

#NPR is covering one of our #shareholder #resolutions filed with @Alphabet #Google - we are asking big tech to be accountable for the harms and risks they present.

#shareholder activism is on the rise: US companies targeted by activist investors typically outperform their sectors initially, but the results tend to be mixed, chart @GoldmanSachs

https://www.cnbc.com/2023/05/04/regional-banks-fall-pacwest-down-40percent.html This is what fear does, the easiest feeling to manipulate. #banks regulation should really be enough. A focus on #shareholder value is fragile in itself, especially if this kind of #ownership is daily transferable. I hope this triggers support for #resilience based regulation.

Today, I got the paycheck.
The amount is moderate, and I also get the dividend from my stock, such as Ajinomoto.
"We should use all of own cash."
In my brain, Horiemon's saying echoed.

In traditional analysis of #shareholder #capitalism, the managers of the #corporation are representatives of the investors & work in their (the shareholders') interest.

So what do we make of data that shows that over a third of US executives of S&P500 firms received a wage rise at the same time that the share-price of the firms was declining?

Execs will likely argue this is a blip & they've added much past value for #shareholders;

Investors looking at significant capital losses may disagree!
