Created by a blue-ribbon panel of financial experts including advisors, corporate clients, lawyers, and bankers, the DealMaker Meter provides a snapshot of recent activity and forecasts the upcoming three months of acquisition activity. The report is designed to help business decision-makers understand the global market for company acquisitions — ranging from Initial Public Offerings (IPO) to Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPACs) to de-SPACs.
According to the report, DFIN found that despite the disruption caused by COVID-19, the global M&A market continues to thrive based on low interest rates, low funding costs, strong equity markets, and the availability of capital. There is the anticipation of accelerated deal activity for the next three months with North America expected to lead the charge, followed by APAC and EMEA. The most active industries are predicted to be telecom/media/technology, followed by energy/mining/utilities, and pharma/medical/biotechnology.
