Sale interest: Unknown
Confidence: Low

Public signs an ownership change could be on the table: a declared sale or merger, an owner retirement or an announced succession plan. A founder still leading after 30+ years is only a weak research clue, not a sign the agency wants to sell. Past sales, restructurings and the agency's own acquisitions do not count here.
Why: No Acquisition Research Fit rating. Years in operation alone, or size alone, is not a rating.
