Will the deal machine keep churning? With worries over the U.S. economy and trade tensions, some aren't so sure. But PwC thinks M&A will remain active, with technology dominant. Claire Poole explores the firm's analysis plus provides highlights of the deal week that was among Texas lawyers.
Osaka’s purchase of Houston-based Sabine will give it the target’s entire natural gas position in East Texas and make it the first Japanese acquirer of a U.S. shale gas developer. Claire Poole has the details.
Financial advisor Evercore edged out Jefferies in Texas M&A dealmaking for the first half of 2019, according to the latest stats from Mergermarket. Claire Poole has the rest of the first half results, including the value rankings.

Claire Poole has the numbers underlying those numbers, along with a slightly more optimistic CDT Roundup of Texas activity.
If you've been paying attention to M&A numbers in recent weeks, you already know this: compared to last year, the first half of 2019 has been lackluster. Deal count is down. Deal values are down.

Callon’s purchase of Carrizo is the latest in a wave of consolidation among oil and gas producers operating in the Permian Basin. But one analyst thinks there could be some investor pushback as many viewed Callon as more of a seller than a buyer.
