A comprehensive guide to Australian initial public offerings and listings on the Australian Securities Exchange.
Australia | Publication | March 2022
Leaving its mark as one of the richest years in M&A history, Australia’s total deal value soared well above expectations abandoning the uncertainties of 2020. Defensive strategies faded as many growth-hungry companies, pent up from a sluggish 2020, deliberately shifted from capital preservation towards capital deployment. With cheap capital behind them, many boards executed aggressive transaction strategies taking full advantage of the buyer’s market.
In our 2021 Edition of the ‘Australian public M&A deal trends report’, we examine a year filled with an uptick of record-smashing mega deals, a mammoth increase in total deal value and one where foreign investment was down yet again. With the first half of the year being slow off the mark due to ongoing border closures, supply chain issues and labour shortages, the government’s pivot towards economic recovery, high vaccination rates and low unemployment figures were several reasons behind the swift restoration in deal maker confidence.
Our report considers how the Australian public M&A market has fared during what has been a remarkable 12 months and attempts to forecast what could be another vibrant year ahead.
