Piper Sandler Elevates New Co-Heads of Healthcare Investment Banking, Consumer Investment Banking, and Equity Capital Markets

Key Terms

equity capital markets financial

Equity capital markets are the channels and activities through which companies sell ownership stakes (shares) to investors, including initial public offerings, follow-on share sales, and block trades. Think of it as a marketplace or storefront where firms raise money by offering pieces of the business; the size, timing and price of those offerings can change a stock’s supply, dilute existing ownership, and influence valuation and future growth prospects, so investors watch it closely.

M&A advisory financial

M&A advisory are professional services that guide companies through buying, selling, combining, or splitting businesses, like a trusted guide helping someone navigate a complicated contract and negotiation process. Investors care because advisers shape deal terms, price, timing and risk — decisions that can change a company’s value, future profits and strategy much like a real estate agent’s skill can affect the price and outcome of a home sale.
