The State of M&A Play in the Federal Market
A wave of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) continues to reshape the federal market. There have been more than 1,700 government contracting M&A deals since 2015, according to BGOV analysis of Bloomberg Terminal data. Contractors have been using M&A to counter declining margins, pursue growth markets, access contract vehicles, reach new customers, acquire advanced technology, and divest to focus on core capabilities.
Join Bloomberg Government analysts for an in-depth webinar on March 22 to discuss the forces shaping M&A deals in the federal market. Our team will be joined by John Song, Managing Director at Baird, as he shares his insights on M&A trends.
Topics include:
– Total volume and value of M&A deals
– Industries such as defense/aerospace, IT, professional services, and healthcare that are driving activity
– Focus on the top contracting-focused deals in the first half of fiscal 2018
– Outlook for 2018 and beyond
