Interview: Why the M&A market is bouncin...

Fear and Greed
About this episode

After a fairly lean period, it feels like the M&A market is bouncing back nicely with a number of deals announced this year.

Headline deals include a consortium from the Middle-east bidding for Santos and James Hardies’ purchase of Azek in the US. There’s also a US group potentially buying online real estate portal Domain and a bunch of deals, or at least rumoured deals, in the smaller end of the ming sector.

Sandy Mak, Head of Corporate at Corrs Chambers Westgarth, joins Sean in the studio for an update on what’s happening in the M&A market.
