M&A Update: Deals in TX, CA, LA, and NY; Domestic M&A up 26%

Texas and the Southern States are at the epicenter of M&A activity

Texas and the Southern States have seen massive consolidation recently, including the two deals in both Texas and Louisiana this week. Halfway through the year Texas has seen 28 deals, which puts it on pace to be the most active year of deal-making in the Lone Star State on record. Early bird registration is now open at our Texas and Southern States M&A, Strategy, and Innovation Symposium in Houston on October 11 and 12.

Happy 4th of July!

We wish all of our readers a safe and happy Independence Day weekend. In observance of the holiday, there will be no Word on the Street this Monday. The next issue will be on July 11th, 2022.
