TOKYO - A buyout frenzy is gripping boardrooms from Tokyo to Paris to San Francisco, adding fuel to a record-breaking rally in global stocks.
While the deals have no single theme - ranging from industry consolidation to diversifying revenue away from flagging home markets - one common thread is acquirers availing themselves of cheaper financing as central banks shift towards stimulus mode. Receding fears of a global recession and tentative signs of progress in US-China trade talks may be giving executives confidence to pull the trigger.
The S&P 500 Index, Dow Jones Industrial Average and Nasdaq Composite Index all closed at records on Monday, while the Stoxx Europe 600 hit a level unseen since May 2015.
