[M&A] World does not change

2008 launching Opteamum Associates, I started to "surf" on the M&A deep trend. This trend has been sourced by the financial crisis. The main reasons and motivations why they were looking for M&A? I made at that time this summary (image below)

In 2021, I am reading everywhere that M&A is booming from Europe, Americas, Asia and Pacific, even Australia became a "must-have" region in your portafolio.

Easy to understand after the Covid pandemia....

• corporate companies are struggling with their cash flow requirements,

• desperate to find growth to pay their debts [like governments] and

• they have restructured their organizations [ie. cut costs],

• most of them have reviewed and updated strategies [ie. reduced business plans expectations]

READY FOR GROWTH [again]

And now? Looking outside to buy targets that have possibly done a better job than they have done, pretending to buy at a low price due to lack of long term vision and bad cash flow ratios...

[M&A] WORLD DOES NOT CHANGE! ;-)
