Exclusive CDT Data: Capital Markets Dominated by Latham Last Year

Whatever else may have happened in the Texas-related capital markets during 2024, the deals they represented left behind some unnervingly easy math. As is true of most years, debt issues outnumbered equity offerings about 2 to 1. But that doesn't mean there weren't some interesting trends and transactions alongside the usual reshuffling of debt.

2023 — The Year of Billion-Dollar M&A Deals in Texas

The size of a deal may not always be an indicator of its success, but 2023 in Texas will certainly go down in history as the year of some massive billion-dollar transactions. Despite the fact that the global M&A market saw a 17 percent decline in value and 6 percent decline in volume, Texas had the distinction of leading the world with the two largest megadeals: ExxonMobil's $64.5 billion acquisition of Pioneer Natural Resources and Chevron's $60 billion purchase of Hess Corp.

H1 2023 M&A: ‘Meh’ Numbers Worth More than a Shrug

The Texas deal numbers are in for the first half of 2023, and according to The Texas Lawbook's exclusive Corporate Deal Tracker they aren't especially pretty. But beneath the surface lies a sense among Texas dealmakers that the money is still there, that investors are more disciplined and that deals with legs are simply more complicated and creative and, above all, still part of a vibrant economic pipeline.

CDT Roundup: 15 Deals, 9 Firms, 109 Lawyers, $3.2B

Sidley and Mergermarket have released the results of a survey testing the optimism of 150 executives from the PE and corporate dealmaking worlds.
