S&P Global Market Intelligence Quarterly Report Finds Global Equity Issuance Value Rose to the Highest Level Since 2021 in Q4 2024
S&P Global Market Intelligence reports significant growth in global equity issuance during Q4 2024, with IPO transactions rising 3.0% quarter-over-quarter and aggregate offerings surging 55.6% to $116.35 billion - the highest quarterly volume in two years.
The total value of M&A transactions in Q4 2024 reached $613.33 billion, marking a 13.6% year-over-year decline and a 15.5% quarter-over-quarter decrease, primarily due to lower US activity. However, both M&A deal values and transaction numbers increased year-over-year in 2024, ending a two-year decline.
Global equity issuance from 2022 through 2024 totaled $1.039 trillion, slightly below the $1.043 trillion raised in 2021 alone. The report suggests potential continued growth in global M&A and equity offerings for 2025, supported by strategic investments and economic policies.
S&P Global Market Intelligence riporta una significativa crescita nell'emissione di equity globale durante il quarto trimestre del 2024, con le transazioni di IPO che aumentano del 3,0% rispetto al trimestre precedente e le offerte aggregate che aumentano del 55,6% a 116,35 miliardi di dollari - il volume trimestrale più alto negli ultimi due anni.
Il valore totale delle transazioni M&A nel quarto trimestre del 2024 ha raggiunto i 613,33 miliardi di dollari, segnando una diminuzione del 13,6% rispetto all'anno precedente e una diminuzione del 15,5% rispetto al trimestre precedente, principalmente a causa di una minore attività negli Stati Uniti. Tuttavia, sia i valori delle transazioni M&A che il numero di transazioni sono aumentati rispetto all'anno precedente nel 2024, ponendo fine a un declino di due anni.
L'emissione globale di equity dal 2022 al 2024 ha totalizzato 1,039 trilioni di dollari, leggermente inferiore ai 1,043 trilioni di dollari raccolti nel 2021. Il rapporto suggerisce una potenziale crescita continua nelle offerte globali di M&A e equity per il 2025, supportata da investimenti strategici e politiche economiche.

UU. Sin embargo, tanto los valores de las transacciones de M&A como el número de transacciones aumentaron en comparación con el año anterior en 2024, poniendo fin a un declive de dos años.
La emisión global de acciones de 2022 a 2024 totalizó 1,039 billones de dólares, ligeramente por debajo de los 1,043 billones de dólares recaudados en 2021.

S&P Global Market Intelligence는 2024년 4분기 동안 글로벌 주식 발행이 상당한 성장을 보였다고 보고하며, IPO 거래가 전분기 대비 3.0% 증가하고 총 발행액이 55.6% 증가하여 1,163억 5천만 달러에 달했다고 전합니다. 이는 2년 만에 가장 높은 분기 거래량입니다.
2024년 4분기 M&A 거래의 총 가치는 6,133억 3천만 달러에 달하며, 이는 전년 대비 13.6% 감소하고 전분기 대비 15.5% 감소한 수치로, 주로 미국의 활동 감소 때문입니다. 그러나 2024년에는 M&A 거래의 가치와 건수가 전년 대비 증가하여 2년 간의 하락세를 끝냈습니다.
2022년부터 2024년까지의 글로벌 주식 발행 총액은 1.039 조 달러로, 2021년에만 조달한 1.043 조 달러보다 약간 낮습니다. 보고서는 2025년에도 글로벌 M&A 및 주식 발행의 지속적인 성장이 가능할 것이라고 제안하며, 이는 전략적 투자 및 경제 정책에 의해 뒷받침됩니다.
