Morrissey Goodale’s 2023 AE Industry M&A Year-in-Review

In 2023, industry dealmakers forged ahead despite sharply rising interest rates and widespread predictions of recession, announcing a total of 427 U.S. acquisitions. Despite a decrease of 11.2% from the record 481 transactions announced in 2022, overall market activity remained significantly above long-term historical levels. Notably, 2023 marked the third consecutive year – and only the third year in history – where U.S. deal volume surpassed 400 transactions.
