From what I’ve read, the Big Quit is slowing a bit and interest rates will march steadily higher over the next few years. Increased borrowing costs for would-be acquirers makes borrowing costs higher and thus might slow down leveraged buyouts some. However, I still think there will be more consolidation in most sectors as smaller cash strapped businesses lose market share (and employees) to larger more established firms. Only time will tell!
