I’m not able to attach images here, but I have an image from a study that shows that during uncertain market times, companies that does acquisition outperform its peers as they purchased and expanded at low prices (as the cost is related to the stock prices).
So I do believe uncertain market conditions create opportunities for large firms with cash to purchase smaller companies – however its important for the fundamentals to be in place as well – and not acquire for the sake for acquiring and expanding.
