Q1 Mergermarket Breakdown: No Surprises as Texas M&A Continues to Rage

When it came to first quarter deal figures in Texas, it was same song, second verse. Deal value and count volumes were a restatement of the second half of 2020 as dealmakers continue to push past last year’s coronavirus-induced hesitancy and M&A demand forges ahead.

Year-over-year, deal value tied to Texas-based companies and private equity jumped by 201.5% in the first quarter, though the deal count dropped by 27 to 291, according to Mergermarket data provided exclusively to The Texas Lawbook.
