Top advisers by value and volume
According to GlobalData’s ‘Global and Technology, Media & Telecom M&A Report Financial Adviser League Tables Q1-Q3 2022’, Goldman Sachs and Houlihan Lokey have emerged as the top M&A financial advisers in the TMT sector for Q1-Q3 2022 by both value and volume, respectively.
Goldman Sachs advised on $354.2bn worth of deals, while Houlihan Lokey advised on a total of 74 deals.
GlobalData lead analyst Aurojyoti Bose said: “Goldman Sachs was a clear winner in terms of value as it was the only firm to cross $300bn in total deal value during Q1-Q3 2022. It managed to advise on 26 billion-dollar deals, including 11 mega deals valued more than $10bn, of which two were valued at more than $50bn. The company’s involvement in these big-ticket deals helped it top the list by value.
“Moreover, Goldman Sachs, apart from leading by value, also occupied the second position by volume. Meanwhile, Houlihan Lokey, despite leading by volume, did not feature among the top 10 by value as it lagged by this metric due to its involvement in low-value transactions.”
