Part 4/5:
The market has been somewhat skeptical of Evotec's performance, with the company's stock price declining by 59% over the past year. This has made Evotec an attractive target for private equity firms, but Halo sees an opportunity to capitalize on this situation.
To convince investors of the merits of this acquisition, Halo has conducted extensive customer interviews to understand the perception and future potential of Evotec's platforms. The company believes that Evotec is poised for growth, and the combination of the two companies will create a powerful platform that can attract new partners and drive long-term, durable revenue streams.
