The Q3 report, “This Train Keeps Rolling,” breaks down private equity activity in 2018 between deal size and sector. While valuations remain near historic highs, multiples have come down slightly in all but the small-market. Still, debt markets and considerable sums of dry powder available to private equity investors have allowed sponsors to pay a considerable premium over strategic acquirers as of the end of Q3.
The report includes data on the median valuations paid by U.S. private equity firms as of the end of Q3, as well as debt multiples and M&A multiples broken down by deal size and by certain sectors.
