A 360° view on deal opportunity

At PwC, we bring together deals strategists, industry specialists and data scientists to analyze your portfolio from all angles, offering a clear perspective of both your position, and potential, through both a buyer’s and shareholders’ perspective.

By reviewing and ranking each business on a portfolio map, we can help you understand the competitive position for all lines of business and rank the shareholder value impact of actions for each business. Supplemental lines that don't align with core strategy may deserve a closer look. Spinning off or selling a top performer could deliver a significant capital boost, while divesting a poor performer - even if it doesn't yield much value - could remove the cost of keeping that business.
