Canadian M&A activity up in second quarter, but still tepid
Canadian mergers and acquisitions showed a "modest rebound" in the second quarter, reports Crosbie & Company. The Financial Post Crosbie: Mergers & Acquisitions in Canada database found 234 transactions announced in this period, which is up 9.4% from Q1 2013, and values totaling $44.7 billion, up 52%. Crosbie says that while growth "was not overwhelming, it represents a break from a declining multi-quarter trend and a return to a more normal range of quarterly activity."
