Outlooks and Strategies 2007
2007: time to act
No doubt about it: this is a very good time to sell an information
company. A rising tide of private equity capital, a renewed appetite
for acquisitions among strategic information companies, and favorable
prospects for corporate profits and economic growth paint a pretty
compelling picture.
Outlooks and Strategies 2006
And so began 2006, which follows a year of record
transaction volume and value for Berkery, Noyes—
twenty deals closed, representing more than $2 billion
in transaction value. More important than the numbers,
however, is what they represent: a powerful surge in
M&A activity across every information and technology
industry segment.

When investment bankers are busy, that’s a pretty good indicator that an up-cycle is in full swing. As we launch into 2005, we’ve never been busier. With buyer interest on the rise and information companies fully valued, we maintain a positive outlook for the year ahead.
Outlooks and Strategies 2004
For those of you holding your breath until the business
cycle turns, go ahead and exhale. Most of the key indicators
that describe the direction of the publishing and
information markets are pointing north.
