Editorial Viewpoint on 1970s Divestiture Trend
The piece notes a shift from the 1960s urge to merge to a 1970s drive to divest. It cites American Appraisal Company data: 2200 merger announcements in early 1971, down 19 percent from 1970, and 1400 subsidiary sales, up 75 percent from 800 in 1969. It argues profits pressure fuels divestiture and that some conglomerates overextended. It warns a drastic economy change is needed to avoid repeating the 1960s pattern, while some buyers gain opportunities.
