Healthcare Deal Spending Was Healthy in March 2019
March 2019’s combined spending, at nearly $25 billion, is a healthy-looking sum, even though it represents a 24% drop compared with February 2019 and a 65% decline versus March 2018. As usual, March 2019’s total is mostly the result of one deal—Centene’s (NYSE: CNC) $17.4 billion bid for WellCare Health Plans (NYSE: WCG), which accounted for 70% of the total. Without it, March 2019 would have posted a total of $7.5 billion and a 77% decrease from the previous month’s approximately $32.8 billion. And an almost 90% drop compared with the $71.5 billion in March 2018. Spending isn’t the real measure of the health of the healthcare deal market, as we say every month. Sources tell us they see...

March Healthcare Deal Volume Dribbled Off
It was a slow first quarter, and March’s monthly deal results didn’t change that fact. Just 115 transactions were announced, following February’s total of 106. Compared with March 2018’s 149 deals, last month’s deal volume sank 23%. The over-heated market we saw in 2018 is cooling, at least momentarily. Of course, there was a time when seeing 115 deals in a month was unusual. Dare we say, exciting? But that was so five years ago, to be exact. In March 2014, there were 97 transactions made public, up just a sliver from the 95 announced in February 2014. With the exception of August 2014 (another slow month with 95 deals), monthly deal volume has stayed above the 100-mark ever since.... Read More »
Q1:2019 Healthcare Deal Volume Slowed
Talk of slowing global economic growth has swirled since late last year, following tariffs, trade wars, Brexit and you-name-it. The healthcare M&A market appeared to reflect the fears, as deal volume in the first quarter of 2019 slid 27% compared with the fourth quarter of 2018, and was down 19% compared with the same quarter a year ago. Granted, matching the nearly 500 deals reported in the record-making fourth quarter would be a stretch even in better times. But with preliminary data showing just 362 transactions recorded in the first quarter, we’re certainly looking at a slowdown in healthcare deals. Last year in the same period, 447 deals were announced. We’ve talked with a lot of... Read More »Schedule a demo
