Too often in the marketplace we are hearing doom and gloom. However, we are seeing relatively strong deal flow for the strong companies. In the valuation profession we know recessions are extraordinary events. Therefore, periodic cash flow dips, in otherwise solidly performing companies are considered extraordinary events, and can largely be adjusted away. Valuation multiples are no plummeting. And for most sell-side candidates it is actually a good time to sell. Very well-written article Stan. Too often in the marketplace we are hearing doom and gloom.
