Rothschild & Co was the top M&A financial advisers in the automotive sector in Q1-Q3 2023, according to GlobalData’s ranking of leading M&A advisers. The firm achieved the leading position by advising on three deals worth $650.8m.
“Rothschild & Co witnessed a decline in both deals volume and value during Q1-Q3 2023 compared to Q1-Q3 2022, but the decline was more pronounced in the latter,” said GlobalData lead analyst Aurojyoti Bose. “Nevertheless, it registered the highest average deal value among all the top 10 advisers by value and volume.
“Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs, which was the top adviser by value during Q1-Q3 2022, managed to retain its leadership position by this metric during Q1-Q3 2023 as well. In fact, it was the only adviser to surpass $20bn in total deal value during Q1-Q3 2023. Apart from leading by value, it also occupied the seventh position by volume.”
