With the world economy shuddering and global equity market sliding, 2016 is starting out in rough shape. That’s also crimping deal flow so far this year, with January spending on tech acquisitions just half the average monthly level from last year. To get a sense of what’s happening now in the M&A market and what we expect for the rest of the year, join us on Wednesday, February 3 at 1:00pm EST (10am PST) for our annual Tech M&A Outlook webinar. You can register here.
The hour-long webinar will start with a look back at the record-breaking year of 2015 to highlight some of the trends that helped push tech M&A spending to its highest level since the Internet bubble burst. What had buyers spending freely last year – including 83 transactions valued at more than $1bn – and what has happened to that confidence so far this year? That lack of confidence has also kept any startups from coming public so far in 2016, the first time that has happened since the credit crisis. What does the rest of the year look like for tech IPOs, and which companies might look to debut despite the inhospitable market?
Join the Tech M&A Outlook webinar for views from some of 451 Research’s 100+ analysts and what they expect to be driving deals in key sectors, including the Internet of Things, mobility and security. Register here.
