Högsta M&A-aktiviteten i USA sedan 2007

Latest Report

This year’s Alternative Fixed Income report from HedgeNordic explores how institutional investors and asset managers are navigating this new reality, balancing yield and resilience amid shifting credit cycles, structural change, and evolving sources of return.

Stockholm (HedgeNordic.com) – Aktiviteten på amerikanska företagsuppköp och sammanslagningar (M&A) var under förta halvåret 2014 den högsta sedan 1:a halvåret 2007, upp 98,3% från 1:a halvåret 2013 och +30% från 2:a halvåret 2013. Det skriver MergerMarket i en ny Global M&A Trend-rapport.

Totalt uppgick transaktionsvolymen till USD 694,6 miljarder under H1 2014, jämfört med USD 350,2 miljarder respektive USD 534,3 miljarder under H1/H2 2013, enligt HedgeCo.

Köpet av Time Warner Cable som gjordes av Comcast Corporation för USD 68,5 miljarder, samt förvärvet av DIRECTV, gjort av AT&T för USD 65,5 miljarder, var de två största affärerna i USA och i den globala telekomsektorn under H1 2014.

Jämfört med andra regioner rapporterade den amerikanska marknaden den största ökningen inom M&A jämfört med föregående år: upp till en andel om 44,2% av den globala marknaden mätt som transaktionsvärde under H1 2014, vilket var en uppgång från 34,8% under H1 2013.

Efter att redan ha sett fyra mega-affärer under året i USA, är läkemedel, medicin- och bioteknik de fortsatt hetaste sektorerna, vars andel av transaktionsvolymen ökade från 14,4%.

Den genomsnittliga köpeskillingen som betalades för ett USA-baserat bolag inom läkemedel, medicin-/bioteknik var USD 1,2 miljarder, motsvarande nivåerna vid den senaste boomen inom sektorn under 2009.
