What does 'in de etalage staan' (financial term) mean?

"In the shop window" means that an enterprise or business unit is actively offered for sale by the management and/or the owners and that potential buyers or an acquiring party are being sought. This is often done when a company wants to focus on its core activities, or when a specific unit no longer fits within the strategic focus, performs poorly, or when the parent company wants to benefit from the sale of valuable assets.

This divestment process can be part of a wider restructuring or strategic reorientation within a group.
