Mission Control, Global Mergers & Acquisitions analysis, quarter 2, 2011
This latest edition of Mission Control finds that:
- Acquisitions likely to be more niche and strategically focused rather than large, business changing deals
- Increased valuation multiples will be driven by commercial aerospace, as defence valuations are likely to be suppressed
- Emerging markets are growth areas
- We believe corporate investors will continue to purse strategic investments, albeit at a potentially slower rate as valuation differentials may need to be bridged
The report also features a special report on the challenges companies are facing as they expand into regions around the world where corruption is pervasive (primarily the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, but, to a lesser extent, also the UK Bribery Act).
Mission Control Perspectives provides a UK view of the main report.
