Obviously hard to predict but how do people think the M&A market will look when restrictions begin to lift and we go back to something closer to our previous “normal”? Increased or decreased activity?

You’d have to imagine there will a lot of consolidation as bigger fish prays on weakened companies. However not sure what that would mean for total volume/activity

One things for sure...there won’t be much hand shaking.

There will be some strategic opportunities for consolidation, but the expectation is that M&A groups will be negatively impacted. Many M&A bankers are pivoting to more distressed debt/restructuring type transactions for the time being.

Relative to what we have seen in the last 18-24 months, M&A activity should pick up. COVID has opened up a number of new scenarios that should encourage a broader variety of M&A activity (consolidation, adjacencies, core innovation, divestitures,...). The difference by industry should be more meaningful than is typical (because of underlying COVID impacts). Given the negative impact on valuations, deal size by $ is not going to be proportional though.

That’s some nicely worded, deck-ready consulting BS

Many broke-ass companies ‘bout to be acquired

I think deal activity will be depressed for a while. Companies have loaded up on debt and have seen their credit ratings deteriorate. I think a lot of companies and PE firms will be focused internally on assessing the impact and ensuring they are liquid in the short term.

I think there tends to be less activity during times of uncertainty.

Please share if you know anything about it.
