Health-care dealmaking kept up a brisk pace in November, setting up what could be a blockbuster December and a record-breaking year, attorneys and analysts say, according to Bloomberg.
The number of deals announced and closed in November reached 236, up from 223 in October and 213 in September, said Gary Herschman of Epstein, Becker & Green in Newark.
“Due to the volume of deals planning to close by year end, we expect that December activity will more than double November’s activity,” Herschman said.
Life sciences and pharmaceuticals again led all sectors with 48 deals, followed by physician services and practices (31), health-care information technology and software (30), medical devices (29), cannabis (24), behavioral health (13), and home health (10). Read more.
