Market Chatter: Voya Financial Draws Takeover Interest

MT Newswires Live

Jul 16

Voya Financial (VOYA) has attracted informal takeover interest in recent weeks, though no talks are underway and the company's management and board are not seeking a transaction, Semafor reported Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter.

Principal Financial (PFG) expressed interest in Voya earlier this year, but nothing came of the approach. The company could revisit a potential deal, according to the report.

The report said Voya has periodically attracted takeover interest since its 2013 spinoff from ING.

Voya Financial and Principal Financial didn't immediately reply to a request for comment from MT Newswires.
