With just a month left on the calendar, 2022 could wind up being the worst year for U.S. mergers and acquisitions since 2017. But a barrage of deals could begin next year as investors and executives adjust to a new economic normal, bankers, lawyers and investors told The Information.
A number of factors could spur deal-making. Investors are likely to get more clarity on interest rates, inflation and the war in Ukraine, which could add some certainty to valuations that have been routed over the past year. And many companies have been burning through cash without easy ways to raise more, which could prompt them to consolidate.
As the calendar flips to 2023, firms that could be ripe for potential deals—whether they be full-fledged mergers, tie-ups, selling assets or acquiring pieces—include the likes of Zoom Video Communications, Disney, Vice Media and Grubhub.
