OUR LATEST ISSUE – APRIL 2019:
DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION DRIVING DEALS & DISRUPTION
Digital transformation will be both a business imperative and a driver of deals in 2019.
At the top of 2019, mergers and acquisitions remain a key growth strategy for executives as they face a steadier landscape than anticipated. But, with many eyes watching for a potential market correction, companies are turning to high growth and recession-proof opportunities.
Our quarterly M&A review of global and middle-market deals found that while deal flow did slow in the second half of 2018, attributable to bearish indicators, deal value continued to grow year-over-year, underscoring market confidence and increasing precision in M&A activity.
Additional insights in this issue include:
- M&A activity review – global, North American, private equity & industry highlights
- Spotlight on tech – the epicenter of digital transformation
- Guidance on valuations – transaction tips for buyers and sellers
