ACG-Thomson Reuters Year-End 2009 DealMakers Survey Reveals Obstacles and Opportunities for M&A and Private Equity Investing
CHICAGO, December 8, 2009 – Merger professionals say the current M&A environment remains moribund, yet express guarded optimism about a pickup in the first half of 2010, with strategic investors and distressed sales leading the way.
The latest twice-yearly survey by the Association for Corporate Growth (ACG) and Thomson Reuters reveals that negative sentiment about the dealmaking environment has not changed during the last year, with 87% of dealmakers saying the current M&A environment is fair or poor, compared to 88% at mid-year 2009, and 86% in December 2008. Over the next six months, however, the percentage of dealmakers who expect an increase in merger activity jumped to 82% from 56% six months ago.
