What are mega mergers?
We define mega mergers as M&A transactions with a deal value greater than $1 billion and where the target company’s revenue is more than 60% of the buyer’s. Because of their sheer size and breadth, these mergers have the potential to be transformative in terms of achieving substantial revenue and cost synergies with scale advantages that can significantly increase shareholder value.
Our experience and analysis indicate that the growing recognition of mega mergers’ ability to generate long-term value is likely to increase the frequency of these transformational transactions. However, there is a critical precondition: executing on a clear and well-mapped dealmaking approach that addresses culture, clear performance metrics and empowering integration teams to make decisions within established rules of engagement.
