15TH ANNUAL MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS OUTLOOK SURVEY<br />
15th Annual<br />
Mergers & Acquisitions<br />
Outlook Survey<br />
In our 15th annual survey, we polled senior executives<br />
and advisers across the nation—CEOs, CFOs,<br />
owners, managing directors and other professionals<br />
involved in M&A activity within their respective<br />
firms—to measure their experiences and outlook on<br />
mergers and acquisitions in the coming year.<br />
We would like to thank all survey respondents<br />
for their time and insights.<br />
M&A Optimism Drops After High-Flying 2018<br />
Thirty-three percent of respondents to Dykema’s 15th<br />
annual M&A Outlook Survey are bullish about deal-making<br />
in the U.S. over the next 12 months. That’s down from 65<br />
percent in 2018, which reflected jubilation in the wake of<br />
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act passed in late 2017.<br />
