Regent News and Events

REGENT’s view of the month - August 2009

We should never read too much into the August announcements. The number of deals declined by 15% from the July numbers – smaller than the 24% decline this time last year. Combined valuations moved up 6% to $5.2 billion, and that’s without the $2.0 billion Skype deal which was announced on 1st Sept and will be included in the next analysis. Valuation multiples have been edging up but have not kept pace with valuation increases of companies on the public markets.
