Desk KPIs

#1
Sector M&A Multiple (EV/EBITDA)
11.4x
MANUAL
Median acquisition multiple paid in your sector YTD. The number every board and counterparty will cite. Know it before any deal conversation — this is your pricing anchor.
#2
Sector Deal Volume (YTD)
$48.2B
MANUAL
Year-to-date deal volume in your sector. High activity = competitive environment for acquisitions, multiple pressure up. Low = buyer market, negotiating leverage shifts.
#3
Strategic vs PE Premium Gap
1.6x vs 1.0x
MANUAL
Strategic buyers paying 1.6x PE multiples on average. The synergy premium your board expects you to pay. Gap closing = PE pricing out strategics. Gap widening = strategic window opening.
#4
Antitrust Review (Avg Days)
247 days
MANUAL
Average time from HSR filing to clearance for deals with regulatory review. Rising timelines = more complex deals, higher break risk, more MAC clause negotiations.
#5
Deal Certainty Rate (12M)
84%
MANUAL
Share of signed M&A deals that actually close (trailing 12 months). Below 80% = elevated break risk market. Affects how you price termination fees and financing contingencies.
#6
HY Financing Markets
Open / SOFR+485
FRED · BAMLH0A0HYM2EY
Whether leveraged acquisition financing is accessible and at what cost. Closed HY market kills any levered deal — either your own or a PE buyer competing for the same target.
#7
Cross-Border Deal Share
31%
MANUAL
Share of M&A with cross-border buyer/target. Rising = more CFIUS, FIRRMA, and foreign investment review risk to model into your deal timeline and structure.
#8
Post-Merger Integration Rate
58% on plan
MANUAL
Industry average rate of deals delivering planned synergies on schedule. Below 60% is the long-run average — critical context for how aggressively to model synergies in your board materials.

The ValixData Corporate Development desk organizes market context for professionals working in m&a & advisory. It separates live market feeds from reference indicators so readers can see what is current, what is a baseline, and which source supports each figure.

The desk focuses on signals including Sector M&A Multiple (EV/EBITDA), Sector Deal Volume (YTD), Strategic vs PE Premium Gap, Antitrust Review (Avg Days), and related indicators.

Desk status: Core desk. Reference values are not presented as live production feeds. Source cadence and methodology are documented on the methodology page.
