Berkery's Shea Bullish on Information Sector Multiples
Private equity is hot, hot, hot for companies in the information sector. That's according to John Shea, COO of BerkeryNoyes, a New York investment bank which advises on and tracks deals in the information sector. Berkery targets the lower middle market, focusing on deals with a $25 million to $500 million enterprise value. What are information companies? Berkery defines them as a “marketplace of companies focused on the provision, management, or creation of data.” Or, more easily, all internet, media, and software businesses, Shea says.
