Several factors are driving today's record-setting pace of merger-and-acquisition pace such as access to capital, highly valued public companies, and increasing numbers of private equity firms.But Kate Troendle and Marc Marlin of the investment bank KippsDeSanto also see the government market as maturing and getting more sophisticated, as they explain in this interview with editor Nick Wakeman.Today's environment sees a broader range of transactions beyond the traditional one company buying another variety. Small companies are buying others just like them, while other deals just focus on specific contract vehicle positions. Larger companies are divesting so they can shape and hone their portfolios.Troendle and Marlin also see the momentum continuing in 2022 and even if the volume pulls back a bit, they believe the M&A landscape will remain substantial and robust.
The market has rarely seen the level of merger-and-acquisition activity that we see today with a plethora of large and small buyers.To breakdown what's driving the deals, Editor Nick Wakeman spoke with Bob Kipps of the investment bank KippsDeSanto. Kipps shares his views on why the market has been so good to buyers and sellers as well as the critical role being played by private equity firms, who drive nearly half of the transactions.The expectation is that the pace of mergers and acquisitions will continue and Kipps explains why.
