Investment Bank M&A Capital Raise Industrial Sector

Active Quarter for the Industrial Distribution & Supply Segment

Wilcox Investment Bankers is pleased to share our Industrial Distribution & Supply Quarterly (3^rd Quarter 2021). The report provides an in-depth review of M&A trends, capital markets, corporate valuations and relevant macroeconomic data for the Industrial Distribution & Supply sector.

For the 3rd quarter, buyers and sellers in the industrial distribution & supply segment were more active than the historical average. The index of publicly traded industrial distribution and supply companies have performed better than the broad U.S. stock market. Capital is widely available for this sector. Macroeconomic fundamentals are positive and supportive for corporate transactions.

These tailwinds have kept valuations high. And the four factors we monitor and evaluate to help us determine the timing of any corporate transaction are all flashing “green.”
