Compared to the previous years’ fourth quarters, 2017 fell short significantly, down from the 93 deals recorded in Q4:16 and from the 108 deals recorded in Q4:15 (the all-time high for a quarter). There were few high-priced deals, as well, with the largest of the quarter (Mainstreet’s $425 million acquisition of... Read More »
