The Case for Strategic Acquisitions

Presented By: FORVIS / Levenfeld Pearlstein, LLC

Over the past three to four years the rush to buy companies and add revenue as quickly as possible led to a frenzied buy-side market and record high multiples for sellers. But times have changed. Today, corporate acquirers and private equity firms are focused on making more intentional deals. Join a panel of executives and M&A advisors as they break down the new trends, key elements to alignment when looking at acquisitions, why fundamentals and blocking-and-tackling is back, and how these factors may impact your next deal.
