BVR has completed its latest quarterly update to the FactSet Mergerstat/BVR Control Premium Study (CPS), which includes an added 141 controlling acquisitions worldwide. The median control premium for these new additions is 18.1%, and the median implied minority discount was 15.3%. Median net sales were $185 million USD, and median deal value was $182 million USD.

As we’ve reported earlier, control premia in the UK tend to run higher. For the 1,224 total controlling UK acquisitions included in CPS, the median premium is 28.4% and the mean is 20.0%. These FactSet/BVR averages remain stable compared to the previous quarter.

In the coming months, the CPS will also begin to report invested capital premia. BVWire—UK readers interested in these upgrades should contact BVR.
