Analysis

摘要

Just one new M&A transaction was announced during the week ended 18 September, the lowest fgure of the year so far. This compared with seven new transactions announced during the week prior. The one deal involved Accupac, a maker of pharmaceutical and per- sonal care packaging materials, changing private equity owners. Private equity frms generally regard it as a good time to sell assets, due to high multiples—although corporates are at an advantage as buyers.
