What America’s CEOs expect in Merger & Acquisitions in 2020.
US executives have a stronger appetite for deals than in other regions despite economic concerns.
In Price Waterhouse Coopers 23rd CEO Survey, US CEOs said they have a dimmer outlook on the global economy in 2020. The share of executives who expect the rate of global growth to decline doubled from last year to 62%. Despite the bearish outlook, more US executives said they were confident about the prospects for revenue growth in the longer term over the next three years versus over the next year.

Deals will play a part of CEOs’ growth plans, particularly as companies review their businesses and operations and find the right combination of divestitures and acquisitions to help execute their corporate strategy. More than half of US executives said they plan to pursue M&A to drive growth in the next year – a higher response than CEOs globally. They also largely believe affordable capital will continue to be relatively easy to access.
But while there’s both demand and capital for deals, the survey also suggests that US CEOs realize their companies are facing an increasingly complex business environment. Issues ranging from cyber threats and data privacy to global trade tensions further complicate how M&A deals could be evaluated and executed in the year ahead.
