Good Times for M&A Likely to Last
According to Business Week, M&A pros are breaking out the champagne a little early this year in anticipation of their first $1 trillion year since 2000 when deal makers logged in $1.7 trillion. To date, there have been 8,115 announced deals worth a combined $948 billion, according to Thomson Financial, up from 8,454 deals worth $824 billion in 2004. The resurgence is attributed to a number of factors, including interest from Asia and stockpiles of cash at private equity firms. And the party may last. “I see no reason why the current boom should end any time soon,” says Ken Marlin, founding partner of New York-based investment bank Marlin & Associates.
