Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) is a term used to describe the consolidation of companies or assets through various types of financial transactions. These transactions can involve the purchase of one company by another, the merger of two companies to form a new entity, or the acquisition of assets from one company by another. The purpose of M&A is to create value for shareholders by combining the strengths of two or more companies.
M&A activity is driven by a variety of factors, including the need to increase market share, reduce costs, and gain access to new technologies or markets. Companies may also pursue M&A to diversify their product offerings, increase their competitive advantage, or gain access to new sources of capital.
Some of the major players in the M&A market include Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, and Citigroup. Other notable companies include Blackstone, KKR, Apollo Global Management, and Carlyle Group. Show Less Read more
