In partnership with
Belgers Advisory, we deep dove into the international (post-)pandemic M&A market, looked at trends & developments in the European energy sector and analysed over 2’500 mergers & acquisitions with a total value of more than 1’000 bnEUR in the European energy sector in the period 2015 to Q1-2021.We conclude that the market is fragmented and dominated by relatively low-value deals and single-acquisition buyers. Limited sector knowledge for non- energy investors and limited M&A experience in general, seem to be risk factors. We propose 4 pre-deal risk-mitigation tasks.
