The current development of the software M&A market and its forecast development are currently being intensively discussed.
M&A in the software sector: Transaction momentum and high valuations remain
Compared to the record levels of 2021, both the number of transactions and valuations declined slightly, but remained at a high level, close to the long-term trend, and significantly above other sectors.
With the end of further interest rate increases, we expect financial investors to re-enter the market and a renewed increase in transaction momentum and valuations.
A company sale in the software sector, or the preparation for one, therefore remains attractive in the current market environment.
