Presentation
Brenon Daly, Research Director, Financials, 451 Research
Drawing on data and insight from across 451 Research, we’ll explore some the dramatic shifts in the tech M&A activity, and look ahead on how those trends will play out in 2018. In our market overview, we’ll detail some of the current strategies that are driving deals for corporate acquirers as well as financial acquirers, who are buying at a record pace this year. Additionally, we’ll have an outlook on the all-important consideration of valuations, with what buyers expect to have to pay now -- and in the future -- to get their deals done.
