Solventum (NYSE:SOLV) stock is up on Tuesday after activist investor Trian Fund Management took a stake in the healthcare company.
According to insider sources, Trian has taken a large stake in the company. So large, in fact, that reports claim it is now one of the largest shareholders of SOLV stock. However, the exact number of shares that it owns hasn’t been revealed.
Trian confirmed that it has taken a stake in Solventum in a statement to Reuters. The fund says that SOLV has a “value creation opportunity as a standalone public company.”
What This Means for SOLV Stock
Trian taking a stake in Solventum could be a benefit to investors. Its desire to accelerate organic growth, restore margins and invest to drive growth could result in a leaner company with more profits. If that happens, it could boost the price of SOLV stock.
This idea has SOLV shareholders excited today and with that comes a 3.8% increase in the stock’s price on Tuesday morning. With that rise are some 918,000 shares of Solventum stock changing hands. That’s still below its daily average trading volume of about 1.9 million shares. It’s worth noting that SOLV stock is down 29.8% since the start of the year.
