Morrison & Foerster is pleased to share with our clients and friends the results of our semi-annual Tech M&A Leaders' Survey, a joint effort with 451 Research to take the temperature of company executives, corporate development officers, lawyers, bankers, and other dealmakers focused on the technology sector.
According to the findings:
- Slightly more than half of survey respondents (51%) expect deal flow to increase over the next year when compared to the previous year, while only 19% anticipate a slowdown.
- Forty-five percent of respondents forecast that private company M&A valuations will remain steady, with 31% anticipating a decrease in pricing.
- The majority of respondents (59%) forecast an increase in private equity (PE) activity and a similar number (53%) expect PE firms to be more competitive with corporate acquirers over the next 12 months.
