For a Short Month, February Was Long on Deal Volume

For a Short Month, February Was Long on Deal Volume

Ever wonder why February is the shortest month of the year? It didn’t even exist on the old Roman calendar, when there were only 10 months in a year. Later, the calendar was revised to include 12 lunar cycles totaling 355 days and January and February were added, with February as the last month of the year. In Julius Caesar’s day, the calendar was changed yet again to align with the solar cycle, which amounted to 365 days. And because a complete revolution of the Earth around the sun is actually 365-and-one-quarter days, an extra day is tacked onto the end of every fourth year, which we call a Leap Year.

Q4:2017 Health Care Spending, by Sector and Share

by | Feb 16, 2018 3:21 pm | Healthcare Market Updates

A total of $114.4 billion was spent to fund the 377 transactions reported in Q4:17, based on disclosed prices. The Managed Care sector dominated the dollar side of deal making, accounting for 70% ($80.6 billion) of spending. A single deal accounted for 67% of the quarter’s total, as CVS Health (NYSE: CVS) announced its agreement to acquire Aetna Inc. (NYSE: AET) for $77.0 billion (including debt). If that deal doesn’t close, this chart will look very different. The rest of the healthcare sectors were relegated to single-digit shares of the fourth quarter’s spending pie. The Pharmaceutical sector contributed 6% of the quarter’s total, with $6.9 billion, followed by Biotechnology (5%... Read More »
