CDT Roundup: From Corrugated to Crypto, Deals Keep Venturing Outside the Box

The week that ended Sept. 13 saw 21 transactions valued at $21 billion. That doesn't count the late arrivals and deals outside our usual space (See "Late Arrivals and other matters..." at the bottom of this column). It's a pretty good week when you average $1 billion per deal. For comparison, the week prior, we saw 19 deals for $8.5 billion and 24 deals for nearly $11 billion at this time last year. But each week seems a bit stranger than the last. That and more in this edition of CDT Roundup.

CDT Roundup: Capital Markets Deals Drive $8.6B Week

The week that ended Sept. 6 saw 20 deals with a reported value of $8.6 billion. That seems, at first glance, far better than last week's 10 total deals for $3.5 billion. And it is. But not better than the 12 deals for $20 billion we saw this time last year.

But a closer look shows that the numbers were thin on money actually changing hands. First off, most of the money reported was on the capital markets side, $5.7 billion of the $8.6 billion reported. And on the M&A side, we saw $2.9 billion reported, but $1.57 of that was in a single midstream deal.

That and more in this edition of CDT Roundup.

CDT Roundup: 12 Deals, 7 Firms, 81 Lawyers, $4.9B

Energy is back in the news, and not in a good way. The Texas grid, which has worked remarkably well in developing new energy sources, crashed mercilessly this week. With warmer weather on the horizon, get ready for the cleanup, the political recriminations and the lawsuits. They could last for years, suggests one expert. The CDT Roundup looks at the mess, in addition to last week's dealmaking.

CDT Roundup: 10 Deals, 9 Firms, 100 Lawyers, $7.2B

There were 10 transactions reported to the CDT Roundup last week. Three of them were automotive. In itself it doesn't really mean anything. But a closer look continues to suggest that Texas dealmaking is locked into a future that runs the full swath of modern life. Allen Pusey and Caroline Evans report.
