The number of mega-acquisitions valued at USD 10 bn or above more than doubled <\/strong>worldwide in the 1Q 2024<\/strong>, with 11 transactions totaling USD 215 bn taking place over the first three months of 2024, compared to five transactions worth a total of some USD 100 bn during the same period last year, the Financial Times<\/a> reports, citing data from the London Stock Exchange Group. <\/p>\n

The growth was driven by large-scale transactions in the US in the energy, tech and financial sectors<\/strong>, reflecting companies\u2019 appetite for \u201ccapitalizing on the market conditions to accelerate growth,\u201d Citi\u2019s head of investment banking Tyler Dickson told FT.<\/p>\n

This growth indicates that the market is on course to recover from its \u201clengthy drought\u201d<\/strong>, following a period of stagnancy in M&A activity on the back of the Covid-19 pandemic and the ensuing market volatility, which led to the market shrinking to a decade-low.<\/p>\n

While large-scale transactions are seeing an uptick, the total number of transactions globally fell 31% <\/strong>over the first three months of 2024. However, the overall value grew to USD 690 bn, marking a 30% y-o-y increase.<\/p>\n

What spurred the rebound?<\/strong> M&A activity surged as investors anticipate rate cuts from central banks, expected to come in June. The expected rate cuts have reduced financing costs, facilitating takeovers, in tandem with a resurgence in IPO activity. <\/p>\n

By region:<\/strong> The US made up the lion\u2019s share of takeover activity, growing 59% y-o-y to USD 431.8 bn. The European market also jumped more than 60% y-o-y to USD 127 bn. Meanwhile, transactions in the Asia-Pacific region fell 28% y-o-y, amounting to USD 90 bn.<\/p>\n

The market is expected to expand further:<\/strong> Bankers and M&A firms foresee that the M&A momentum will continue to grow throughout the year as companies pursue more takeovers, as fears of recession diminish and economic indicators suggest that the global economy is headed to a \u201csoft landing\u201d and that inflation is under control. \u201cBoards and management teams feel more comfortable about the future,\u201d Reuters<\/a> quotes co-head of global M&A at Bank of America Ivan Farman as saying.<\/p>\n
