The M&A Outlook

Buyers spent nearly $4 trillion on mergers and acquisitions in 2015, a record that earned it the title the Year of Megamergers. In 2016, potential dealmakers view the market with less certainty. But with the cost of capital still low -- and little prospect of a sharp increase -- the stage may be set for another busy period. Most of last year's transactions, led by Pfizer's $160 billion combination with Allergan, were driven by large corporations looking to increase revenue or reduce costs. Which sectors hold the best opportunities in 2016? What form will the next big buyouts take -- and what will be the most important factors in getting them done? Are divestitures primed to rise as companies shed assets to meet their capital needs, and will we see that as a major theme for deal-making through 2017? Our panel of bankers and advisors will examine today's M&A market with a focus on where the deal-making is likely to be hottest.
