“This flurry of M&A/PE activity is happening simply because everyone is tired of COVID-19 and they want it to be normal again, especially with a stabilizing economy and growing Wall Street numbers. Depending on one’s viewpoint, they could be called wishful thinkers or opportunists.
“The reality is that the economy is slowly growing again, and with vaccines now widely available, things look better that they have in over a year. Therefore, many of the money players are looking to get a jump on the markets so they are looking for companies to acquire. And since the pandemic hurt so many businesses, there are a lot of people willing to sell.”
