Q3 2022 saw a notable dip in the global M&A volume as compared to the recent quarters, tumbling ~16% y-o-y (based on the number of deals) and by ~58% y-o-y (based on total disclosed deal values). On a nine-month basis, global M&A activity reached USD 2.8 Tn, ~34% down from 9M 2021, and even less than H2 2021.
Globally, the IT sector is continuing to see correction amidst a recessionary environment. While the sector continues to trade at a premium when compared with broader indices, there has been a sharp correction in the public valuation multiples. Technology M&A took some hit, and for the first time since Q3 2020, recorded a deal value of less than USD 200 Bn. An absence of megadeals was felt clearly, because the total deal value fell by ~71% y-o-y, in contrast with only a ~13% y-o-y decline in the number of deals in Q3 2022.
