SPACs Get Beat Up Again SPACs are getting increasingly battered as IPOs are scarce, pre-deal SPACs fall consistently below NAV, and announced deals continue to weaken. EV SPACs got hammered as two deals closed. Author: Another rough day for SPACs as the average price for a pre-deal SPAC is now down to $9.88.

No deals were announced, SPAC IPOs stayed on the sidelines, and we saw only two prospective new SPACs file S-1s.  Those invested in SPACs with...
