Advisor warns most mergers destroy business value, with deal structures increasingly varied (share purchase, asset purchase, buy-in)

The advisor offers market commentary that the majority of mergers destroy business value rather than add to it, and describes a current environment where deal structures range across share purchases (historically rare, now more common), business asset purchases, and buy-in acquisitions. Generic trade-M&A commentary; no PE sponsor or named company.

“There's a mergers and acquisitions saying that the majority of mergers actually destroy business value rather than adding to it.”
