NASDAQ OMX Report Reveals the Drivers and Motivators in the Mid-Market: M&A's
Core
NEW YORK, 2013-12-05 14:00 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
NASDAQ OMX's Corporate Solutions business (Nasdaq:NDAQ) today announced key
findings from the Mid-Market: M&A's Core report produced in association with
Mergermarket. Even with the recent glut of bulge-bracket M&A transactions,
mid-market deals remain the cornerstone of global M&A activity, specifically in
the range of US$10 million to US$250 million.
Based on Mergermarket data spanning the last five years, the report examines
the various factors driving mid-market activity during and after the global
financial crisis, and why activity in this segment remains M&A's bedrock. The
report also focuses on the drivers of cross-border activity in this segment of
the market by closely looking at the motivations behind the choices that
acquirers make from across the globe.
Some key findings from the report include:
-- Transactions in the range of US$10 million to US$250 million comprise 34
percent of the overall global M&A market in terms of deal volume in
2013 (3,719 deals worth US$246bn)
-- The Asia-Pacific region saw the most deal activity with 1,317 transactions
for 2013 year-to-date
-- Cross-border mid-market activity in the same deal range comprises 42
percent of total deal volume and 45 percent of deal value compared with the
overall mid-market
'Our global research has shown that Europe is currently home to the highest
number of mid-market targets that offer attractive valuations for acquirers,'
said Michael Cotter, Senior Vice President, Corporate Solutions, NASDAQ OMX.
'This trend is partly driven by companies' need to divest assets and focus on
their core competencies in current unpredictable economic times. We expect
conditions to improve in 2014 and more confidence to return to the market.'
