M&A at a Glance (May 2016)
The M&A market was mixed in April 2016, with the U.S. market
generally faring better than the global market. In the U.S., overall
deal volume increased by 71.1% to $115.57 billion, which is the highest
monthly deal volume for the U.S. in 2016. The increase in total U.S.
deal volume for April 2016 is largely attributable to U.S. strategic
activity, which increased by 95.4% to $96.38 billion in volume, as
compared to March 2016. U.S. sponsor-related activity, on the other
hand, was relatively flat with an increase of 5.4% to $19.19 billion in
volume. The total number of U.S. M&A transactions decreased by 6.3%
to 711.
Conversely, global M&A activity declined slightly in April 2016,
with overall deal volume decreasing by 0.4% to $235.11 billion, and
global strategic deal volume decreasing by 2.5% to $187.92 billion.
Global sponsor-related deal volume, however, was up by 9.2% to $47.18
billion. The total number of transactions globally decreased by 10.7%
to 2,821, while average global deal value increased by 17% to $159.6
million. Figure 1.
