November’s Health Care M&A Market -
Sixty-one Deals Announced Worth A Total Of $34.2 Billion
Email Editor
November saw a total of 61
mergers and acquisitions announced in the health care industry, down 21%
from the 77 deals announced in October.
Thirty-four deals, or 56% of
the month’s total, were in the four sectors of the health care technology
segment, comprising Medical Devices (11), Pharmaceuticals (11),
Biotechnology (8) and e-Health (4). The remaining 27 deals were reported
in the health care services segment. For the first time in a long time,
deal volume in the Hospital sector surpassed that in the Long-Term Care
sector by seven to three. The Laboratories, MRI & Dialysis sector posted
no deals.
Based on
preliminary results, a total of $34.2 billion was committed to finance the
month’s 61 deals. This is more than twice the $15.5 billion spent in the
previous month.
The health
care services segment attracted $21.7 billion in November, or 63% of the
total, with the technology segment accounting for the remaining $12.5
billion. The month produced four billion-dollar deals, with one each in
Pharmacy Benefits Management, Pharmaceuticals, e-Health and Medical
Devices. A single deal, CVS Corporation’s (NYSE: CVS) $21.0 billion
acquisition of Caremark RX (NYSE: CMX), featured in last month’s
issue, accounted for 61% of the total amount spent on health care M&A in
November.

records in terms of M&A dollar volume, easily surpassing the $162.1
billion spent on 970 deals in 2005 and the $164.2 billion spent on 875
