Quarter over quarter, deal flow with ties to Texas companies saw an uptick in value and dip in count. That’s according to data from Mergermarket provided exclusively to The Texas Lawbook.
In its latest report, Mergermarket shared a tally of 342 transactions totaling more than $83 billion in the first quarter of the year and an additional 319 transactions in the second adding up to over $196 billion.
Transaction activity in the second quarter saw an increase in the number of higher-value transactions with the most marked change in both the $501 million to $1 billion and $1 billion and up ranges when compared to the first quarter, which dabbled more heavily in the core to lower middle market space.
Further details on how the first half of 2021 stacks up against 2020 can be found here.
In transactions last week, M&A and funding activity saw 12 deals with a reported $2.015 billion value and two capital markets transactions valued at $1.994 billion from 124 Texas-based lawyers from 11 firms.
