I think the main premise here is that smaller businesses with more focused management will attract investor attention and help reduce the conglomerate discount. These businesses can merge, acquire or divest their businesses with less scrutiny and will be more responsive to activist shareholders.

Given the focus on efficiency rather than growth at all costs, shareholders and regulators may like smaller companies that emerge

This is yet a theory

Yeah; your premise seems valid but I just don’t buy it for some reason. Anyone with a brain would understand it’s still a conglomerate.
