Activist investor Kimmeridge takes stake in US energy producer Devon

Kimmeridge's recent acquisition of a stake in Devon Energy highlights a growing trend among activist investors seeking to influence corporate governance in the energy sector. This mirrors the recent actions of the Saadé family, who have become significant shareholders in Carrefour, indicating a broader pattern of investment strategies focused on gaining control and driving operational changes in established companies. Such moves are reshaping the landscape of corporate governance, as investors increasingly seek to align company practices with their strategic visions.
