Charted Territory
December deal-making is often viewed as being as hectic as a shopping mall on Christmas Eve. But December 2013’s health care M&A results were something of a snoozer, compared with the year before.  Overall deal volume dropped 21% compared with December 2012. Although the Technology sector—and Pharmaceuticals in particular—had a better month in 2013 (up 24% compared with Dec. 2012), deals in the Services sector cratered (down 45%). We’re still gathering our annual numbers, so stay tuned.
