April Healthcare Deal Volume Nudges Higher

April Healthcare Deal Volume Nudges Higher

Everyone we’ve talked to in recent weeks agrees that the first quarter of 2019 was very slow, even slower than expected. So a slight uptick (+5%) in April’s deal volume was a welcome sign of Spring. May’s early activity is even stronger than April’s. but we know how quickly that can change. One example: President Trump returned to threatening more and higher tariffs on imported goods from China as trade talks appeared to bog down in the first week of May. The markets held up for a day, then sentiment turned pessimistic and we’re back to the uncertainty that prevailed at the end of 2018. And we know how much investors like uncertainty. April 2019’s deal volume (132 deals) had a hard comp... Read More »

Healthcare Deal Volume Slipped in Q1:19

Healthcare Deal Volume Slipped in Q1:19

With 374 deals announced in the first quarter, acquisition activity was 25% lower than the 498 transactions announced in the previous quarter. Deal volume was also lower than the same quarter in 2018, down 16% compared with the 447 deals reported then. Deal volume in all four quarters of 2018 consistently closed above 440 deals, with several being added as they are discovered.

Deal volume in the health care services category,... Read More »
