Automotive Suppliers finish the year in style

Deal flow remained strong in Q4 as strategic investors acquired technology leaders to support future mobility solutions, and Private Equity (PE) targeted buy-and-build platforms and related bolt-on acquisitions. A broad range of automotive assets (and segments) have been bid up and listed multiples finished 2016 at peak levels. The M&A environment remains extremely bullish for Auto Suppliers – we expect more of the same in 2017.
