Global Confident management teams and shareholders in continue to rally M&A totals. The value of M&A announcements during increased 11.6% compared to the same period last year with US$ 1.70tn-worth of deals versus US$ 1.52tn this time last year, marking the highest half-year period since 2007 following Q2 s third consecutive quarterly increase. Shareholders are not only encouraging, they are expecting companies to use bold M&A for growth in. The mega-deals (>US$ 10bn) phenomenon continued at an even greater pace in with 28 deals amounting to US$ 678.1bn, the highest value and deal count for any period on Mergermarket record, and a giant 87.2% leap in value with twelve more announcements compared to. A digitised world results in multiple industries needing to acquire companies that will provide new technologies, or those able to help build them so they can advance. Telecommunications, Industrial & Chemicals and Consumer firms are hot on the tail of Technology targets this year. As a result, Technology M&A is well on its way to reaching the highest annual value on record, with deals reaching US$ 198.3bn so far in, just 10.7% from s record total (US$ 222.1bn). US, Asia-Pacific and Europe are taking different paths for growth when it comes to accessing global opportunities. Total cross-border M&A between different countries slowed during compared to last year, down 9.2% from with deals valued at US$ 635.1bn versus US$ 699.1bn. US firms turned their attention to domestic activity and European firms focused on cross-border M&A mainly within European borders. It was only Asian firms that showed a keen interest to gain a presence in other regions, mostly targeting European companies (see graphic).

Europe Europe s rebound in has slowed in with ongoing discussions for a potential Grexit, UK euro scepticism and a slide in the Euro value affecting outbound M&A. Announcements valued at US$ 449.8bn during were 8.1% below. Inversion deals were a theme in, but US regulations have visibly hindered deal making between US and European firms. Inbound M&A worth US$ 160.7bn has seen 40.0% of this come from the US (US$ 64.3bn), down from 67.1% in. The expected Monsanto/Syngenta deal could be an indication of how future inversion deals are likely to turn out, pending approvals. European firms have withdrawn from being active foreign acquirers with the continued weak Euro rate likely to be a deterrent. Outbound M&A in Q1 and Q2 were the lowest quarterly values in eighteen months, resulting in s US$ 73.2bn-worth of deals dropping 42.7% compared to and with 133 fewer deals. Attraction to Europe s technological edge by Chinese and Japanese investors has intensified to a point that the region s growth rate in Technology M&A has overtaken the US during. European Technology M&A value reached US$ 41.7bn in, up 20.9% from the whole of, meanwhile in the US, values are consistently strong but are still down 12.0% on the whole of last year. Chinese and Japanese companies have taken their highest share on record at 15.8% with US$ 6.6bn-worth of deals. The UK has sprung back to life in and shareholders are confident, supportive and positive, with the Brexit debate not likely to cause an issue in the near future. The UK has already reached its highest annual total M&A value since 2008 and contributes 44.8% towards total European M&A, with deals valued at US$ 201.5bn.

US Confidence within the US market is on a high, fuelled by low interest rates, stable economic growth and an abundance of corporate cash. deal values mark the third first-half increase in a row, with US$ 721.5bn-worth of deals reaching the highest deal value since 2007, and a 20.7% increase compared to the same period in. The domestic market has been a driving force for M&A in, as companies increasingly search within their borders for prime targets. Domestic deal value reached US$ 577.4bn in, accounting for a 80% of the total deal value targeting the US, and the second highest deal value since 2007. Sellers are commanding higher multiples for deals, with EBITDA multiples increasing from 14.7x in to 17.7x in, the highest multiple after 2007 (17.9x). In the attempt to supply consumers all their needs in one place, on demand and quickly, there has been increased level of crossinvestment between the Technology and Telecommunication sectors. A spurt of deals merging the two sectors (30 deals worth US$ 108.1bn) resulted in both Technology (US$ 112.3bn) and Telecommunications (US$ 119.3bn) reaching record deal values. Despite overall outbound activity dropping, the US has still shown a strong amount of interest in UK-based companies, encouraged by corporate tax incentives, low inflation and a high GDP. The US$ 26.9bn-worth of deals targeting the UK jumped 58.1% from, driven by deals targeting Business Services (US$ 9.5bn) and Industrial & Chemicals (US$ 8.8bn) sectors, and with Business Services reaching its highest deal value on Mergermarket record.

Total outbound M&A has already hit an annual three-year peak at US$ 54.1bn, with other Asian targets taking a 42.2% proportion, a jump from an average of 23.9% since 2001. In a race to regain a position in the technology market, this was the second most sought after industry by deal count for Japanese firms looking towards other Asian companies. Japanese outbound investment targeting Asian technology firms saw seven deals valued at US$ 1.8bn, a jump from just five transactions worth US$ 146m in. Another driving force behind outbound M&A is the effort to acquire technology in Europe. The value of Japan s outbound investment into Europe is already 63.7% above the whole of, with technology reaching its highest level on record and taking a 43.1% share of total outbound M&A into the region. Japanese firms are showing more interest in deals within Japan but they are less bold in their size compared to outbound transactions into developed markets. Domestic activity saw fifteen more deals compared to but with a 6.5% lower deal value with 181 transactions amounting to US$ 12.7bn showing a pick-up in activity but for the lower deal size brackets.
