Private Equity Firms Execute Portfolio Exits as Tikehau Targets €60bn AUM by 2029

Major private equity firms are restructuring portfolios through strategic exits and acquisitions, with Etsy selling Depop and Keurig Dr Pepper acquiring JDE Peet's stakes. Tikehau Capital leads expansion plans targeting €60bn+ assets under management and 45-50% margins by 2029, up from 41% in 2025. The shift reflects improved European market conditions and a move toward value-add strategies now representing 25% of AUM.

Q4 2026 Biotech Catalyst Window: ESMO Data, the Ivonescimab PDUFA and Small-Cap Delistings

Mid-October to November 2026 is a dense catalyst period for clinical-stage biotech. Positive late-stage readouts (ALOFT-IPF, TELIGAN, MIUDELLA, the duvakitug extension) and the ESMO 2026 presentations lead up to the FDA's 14 November PDUFA date for the ivonescimab BLA. At the opposite end of the market, Spago Nanomedical is moving to delist from Nasdaq First North, which shows how hard it is for micro-cap developers to fund themselves. Value is concentrating in companies with late-stage data and near-term regulatory outcomes.

Where sources disagree

Ford Motor Company

Both facts give cash for Ford Motor Company at the same point in time (2025-12-31; FY 2025 year-end and Q4 2025 year-end are the same date). Both are labelled USD, but the values are 23,356,000,000 and 23.356, which cannot both be true in USD. The two numbers agree once the second is read as billions (23.356 bn = 23,356,000,000), so the economic content is consistent and the conflict is a unit/scale error in the Q4 2025 record. The period is not the reason for the conflict: a Q4 and an FY figure at the same year-end date should match.
