August 2018 Sets New Record for Health Care Deals

August 2018 Sets New Record for Health Care Deals

Did any of you deal makers take a vacation last month? I know for a fact that many of you did, but the pace of deal announcements didn’t slow for a moment in August 2018. Deal volume reached 144 and still counting, a new record for the month. The total got a boost from a suddenly hot Long-Term Care sector, which logged 46 transactions. That’s a 70% boost compared with the 27 deals reported in both July 2018 and August 2017. Looking back through our database, August has been fairly quiet for the past 20 years, as far as deal volume is concerned. Way back in August 1997, 113 transactions were announced, and that was before we began tracking the technology sectors—Biotechnology, eHealth,... Read More »

July 2018 Health Care Deals Simmered

July’s deal volume beat the totals posted in July 2017, but didn’t quite match those posted the previous month. The healthcare merger & acquisition market is still going strong, in other words. Not too hot, no sign of getting cold. Preliminary deal volume in July reached 124 transactions, a 10% loss compared with June’s busy 138 transactions but 6% better than the same month in 2017. The services sectors accounted for 58% of the month’s total, but percentage was actually lower than in June, when services made up 62% of the total, and in July 2017, when services made up 67% of the month’s volume. Some sectors that out-performed both the previous month and... Read More »
