New tables of global transaction rankings and the reincorporation of the Industry Analysis feature highlights the 2020 edition of the Mergerstat Review. The 2019 edition had the Industry Analysis feature as a supplement, and, based on user feedback, it is now included as a standard section going forward. The feature allows you to choose either the Mergerstat Industries or FactSet sectors to compare and perform your M&A analysis. This section provides users with the familiarity of doing their own analysis based on industry spotlights, multiples, premiums, and cross-border activity. The 2020 edition will be available in mid-April in PDF format and early May for the print edition.

Mergerstat Review is an annual publication (with monthly updates) that presents compiled statistics relating to U.S. and cross-border mergers and acquisitions that involve both publicly traded and privately held companies. Data on M&A announcements and purchase prices are presented annually and quarterly, for the current period and historically, including details on individual deals and trends in prices, methods of payment, multiples, and premiums.
