Q4:17 Redefined Healthcare M&A
Despite all the big deals announced in December, the fourth quarter of 2017 wasn’t one for the record books. Merger and acquisition activity was busy, but compared with the previous quarter and the same period in 2016, the pace wasn’t frenetic. Our preliminary data shows 357 transactions were announced in Q4:17, down a slight 4% compared with the third quarter of 2017, and down 8% versus the fourth quarter of 2016. Dollar volume, on the other hand, was quite high. Preliminary data (again) shows nearly $114.3 billion was spent in Q4:17, a 165% gain over Q3:17, and nearly 200% over Q4:16. That total rests largely on the back of a single deal, which you’ve probably heard... Read More »
Top 10 Health Care Deals of 2017
“Variety” best describes the top 10 healthcare deals announced in 2017. The target companies spanned sectors from Biotechnology and Medical Devices to Managed Care and Other Services. You know the healthcare game is changing when just a single pharmaceutical target made the list in 2017, compared with six of the top 10 deals in 2015. The 10 largest deals total $182.1 billion, and account for 59% of the year’s preliminary deal value total of approximately $310.7 billion. In 2016, the top-10 accounted for 51% of the year’s $256.7 billion in spending. In 2017, a Managed Care target was again the largest target of the year.

Stat of the Week: November Deal Volume -30%
Perhaps it was the anticipation of the Thanksgiving holiday, or the holiday itself, that caused the sudden slump in deal volume. Too much turkey, too little focus on finishing up those transactions? Or we could blame the Republicans’ mad dash to pass their tax “reform” legislation before the end of the year. Both houses of Congress have passed separate versions of the bill, and are presently reconciling those into one, for a final vote. How that will look at the other end of the sausage machine is anyone’s guess, but once the bill is passed, we may see the floodgates open on pent-up demand in the more global sectors, such as Medical Devices and Pharmaceuticals. This is preliminary data, of... Read More »Schedule a demo
