Some Interesting M&A Data
Provided by Mergermarket
A new report from Firmex data rooms in partnership with Mergermarket entitled Mid-market: The Crux of North American M&A, reveals a healthy outlook for North American mid-market M&A activity, particularly from the technology, media and telecommunications (TMT) sector.
The report projects that most North American mid-market companies will transact in the deal range of US$10m to US$250m, but there will also be significant traction in the US$251m to US$500m range. Mid-market deals made up over a third of all North American M&A in 2014 according to Mergermarket, the highest proportion in four years. And while 2015 hasn’t quite reached that level so far, figures are still ahead of 2013.
The report also offers interesting insights on the M&A market in relation to the Canadian recession, Baby-Boomer influence, the rise of private equity activity and global expansion drivers.
