How bad has the Coronavirus Era been for deal-making? Depends on where you look.
Each week we log the deals reported to us. We’ve done this since 2017 as you can see in the live table we include each week just before we begin our descriptions of the week’s M&A deals.
In those tables we count each week’s transactions, the number of unique firms involved and the number of Texas lawyers named as part of those deals. These are deals reported to us, so they don’t include all of them. But from week to week we think they’re a pretty good surface indicator of the transactions taking place across the state.
So, when we ask ourselves how the Coronavirus Era has been for dealmaking, that’s where we looked.
From that live table we drew stats from the 20 weeks of March, April, May, June and July and compared them with the same weeks of 2019 and 2018.
The black horizontal line depicts the average deal count across the same weeks in 2018 and 2019. That average was 13.75 deals per week. There were actually six weeks when the 2020 deal count surpassed the 2018-19 average (Weeks 1, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10. But the second half of the 20-week period, deal counts have been stuck below that past average.

On to deal value. The combined March-July weekly average deal value for 2018-19 was $8.282 billion. In only five of those weeks (Weeks 3, 7, did values rise above that number. In four of the 2020 weeks (Week 11 represents two weeks of reporting), the total reported value never reached $1 billion and only the $13.6 billion Chevron purchase of Noble Energy last week allowed week 19 above the 2018-19 threshold.

Note: We’re ignoring 7-Eleven’s $21 billion blockbuster purchase of Speedway from Marathon Petroleum. The CDT Roundup cycles each Saturday, so the Speedway deal will be included in next week’s stats.
Last week there were seven transactions totaling $5.3 billion in reported value. They include five M&A and funding deals totaling $3.7 billion and two capital markets deals totaling $1.6 billion. There were seven firms involved in the deals and 73 Texas lawyers.
