Refinitiv: Soaring To $4.4 Trillion, Global M&A Breaks All-Time Records During First Nine Months Of 2021

Date 04/10/2021

“In the midst of the longest M&A cycle in history, which has been undeterred by politics, trade wars and referendums, perhaps it’s not surprising that an unprecedented global pandemic would supercharge deal making in every region, in every sector and across every deal type. With the all-time full year deal making record broken in less than nine months and five consecutive quarters of more than $1 trillion in M&A activity, we have very little data to make true historical comparisons, although we do know all of the hallmarks of previous cycles – technology M&A, private equity – are driving towards new records. Coupled with a group of new SPAC buyers and incredibly friendly credit markets and strong stock prices, all ingredients for robust M&A will continue for some time. However, a more active regulatory environment in the US, rising inflation, global economic and diplomatic tensions and easing central bank intervention will all contribute to how much further this cycle has to go. Deal makers are watching closely,” comments, Matt Toole, Director, Deals Intelligence, Refinitiv
