Life is descending into nightmare mode again, and I really don't know what the hell to do about this. Next thing you know I'm back to writing my autobiography full time again, but maybe not: this is a slightly different nightmare that I'm dealing with.
I found it interesting the author anticipated consolidation activity in the financial services sector: I think of acquisitions in the financial services sector as a euphemism for a bailout, and I usually associate consolidation in the financial services sector as precipitated by crisis. In recent history Silicon Valley Bank, First Republic Bank, and Credit Suisse, and I think the various acquirers in these deals experienced a gain on bargain purchase. I think the Capital One / Discover merger was motivated by Capital One's desire to acquire Discover's payment network, and not by any type of crisis, I think the acquirer in this case had a fair market value allocation to Goodwill.
I could see M&A activity in the technology, healthcare, energy, and automotive, but I see it materializing more as a result of accounting conventions relating to the capitalization of intangible assets upon acquisition, rather than as a result of breakthroughs, bargains, or efficiencies.
