> Can anyone provide a single case of where a private equity majority owned business thrived, expanded, or at least maintained market share for at least three years? Most PE-owned companies do well. Do a paper search for median employment N years afterwards [1], net indebtedness 5+ years post, et cetera. The problem is outcomes are negatively correlated with transaction size, so the more noticeable a deal the more likely it goes wrong.
