Fall 2022 Software & Technology M&A Market Update

Tech M&A volume remains resilient with +1,400 transactions completed in Q3, representing a 20.7% QoQ decline. We continue to see both financial and strategic buyers retrench around cash flow security and by pursuing less transformative M&A at lower prices, as evidenced by a +48% YoY decline in deal value. Unsurprisingly, some strategic buyers have discontinued M&A programs in light of market volatility.
