Private equity firms pick up their buying pace


Private equity buyouts are back, The Wall Street Journal reports, but they're “smaller and less flashy” than in past booms. “Emboldened by a flurry of activity, private-equity executives say the buyout market is crawling back from the doldrums of the financial crisis, when the debt that fueled such deals disappeared and potential sellers were put off by low valuations,” 

The Journal says. “Now companies are making more money, meaning that they are likely to fetch more in a sale,” according to the newspaper. “Wall Street, meanwhile, is balancing investor demand for the high-yield debt that buyouts produce with a hesitancy to return to the multibillion-dollar gambles that marked the pre-crisis years

.” The paper says private equity firms “have snapped up $64.7 billion worth of U.S. companies since January, the highest amount year-to-date since 2007,” according to data provider Dealogic.
