LONDON - Once shunned due to intense public scrutiny and competition from corporate buyers, private equity firms are increasingly targeting listed companies in Europe, shrugging off forecasts of a regional economic slowdown.
Although these worries have led to a 67 percent fall in European mergers and acquisitions activity in the first quarter, buyout firms - entrusted with record amounts of cash to invest - say they cannot stay on the sidelines. Of $227 billion of public-to-private deals last year, $71 billion were in Europe and $118 billion in North America.
This confidence is backed by cash swelling U.S. private equity coffers, highlighted by Blackstone’s latest $22 billion buyout fund. Bassi also said the perception of private equity funds has changed due to their growing focus on piecing together global industry leaders. In the United States valuations have hovered at an all-time high of roughly 10.6 times EBITDA since 2017.
