In February alone, deals totaling $405.3 billion were announced globally, an increase of 45% compared with the same month last year, according to data from Refinitiv. That is the highest February on record since the financial data provider’s records began in the 1970s.
The burst of activity takes the value of M&A announced so far this year to $698.7 billion, 56% more than the same period last year and a year-to-date total only exceeded twice before, in the years 2000 — at the peak of the dot-com boom — and in 2018.
