Great learnings from the Datasite Nordic M&A Outlook for 2024 event this morning. Even though it’s been extremely busy, I took the time to step out and listen to what’s happening in the M&A world in Sweden. I’m so happy I did – learned a lot – Have you ever heard of Bear-Hug deals in the public market? Yikes!     Thanks to Karl Bystedt Wikblom, Peter Wikstrom, Darragh Byrne & Merlin Piscitelli for sharing your perspectives with the audience. Here’s what I learned: *  Some investors are calling this a ‘window environment’ for M&A. Windows will open and close. *  PE’s have a record level of dry powder right now *  There are a record number of ‘legacy’ companies in their portfolios    *  Regulatory tightening is holding back many international deals. Companies are preferring deals within their own countries to avoid the long regulatory processes. Confidence for doing international deals is heavily impacted. There was a 25% increase in deals done within Sweden (Swedish to Swedish M&A) from Q3-Q4 2023. *  Deals are taking 9-10 months typically *  Anemic growth is pushing M&A deals * Activist investors are more active in Sweden now, with many ‘unfriendly’ or Bear Hug deals being more common in the public markets * The wall-of-debt still hasn’t really hit the M&A world, yet PEs are more actively managing their portfolios. Minority trades are more common. Investors get some exit AND can wait for a better upside.   Just another reminder of how important it is for companies to be operating at their best - to be attractive to buyers, and to be an attractive buyer. Excellent panelist and event, thanks Datasite! Nice meeting you,Liam Sturges! #manda #techinvestors #productled #productmanagement
