Alantra’s Global Technology Update Q4 2022 – A new chapter for Technology M&A

It is rare for two black swan events to coincide, but the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the worst inflation surge in 40 years have done just that. In turn, we are experiencing a global correction in valuations and activity levels across technology M&A after a ten-plus year bull run.

In this edition of Alantra’s Global Technology Update we explore:

• The healthy reset seen across the market as valuations and activity levels correct from the mid-2020 and 2021 highs
• Market bifurcation as the struggle to raise capital affects tech-start-ups but the very best companies still command premium multiples
• Strategic acquirers return to the market as investor uncertainty and the cost of capital reduce deal competition
