Goldman Sachs and Rothschild & Co emerge as top M&A advisers for the power sector in H1 2022

The Financial and Legal Adviser League Tables in the power sector, which ranks advisers by the value and volume of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) deals they advised in the first half of 2022, were released by GlobalData on August 12, with a total of 671 M&A deals worth $163.9 billion announced in the sector during the period.

Furthermore, the data shows that Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS) and Rothschild & Co (EPA: ROTH) stood atop with the highest value and volume of M&As compared to their peers. Goldman led the cohort by value, achieving a total of $13.3 billion worth of deals, while Rothschild led by volume, advising 15 deals in total. 

Aurojyoti Bose, a Lead Analyst at GlobalData, broke down the two leading positions, further explaining how the top two were chosen. 

“Rothschild & Co led by volume but lagged in terms of value and settled for the eighth position by this metric. Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs advised on fewer but big-ticket deals, which helped it to secure the top position by value. Four of the six deals advised by Goldman Sachs were billion-dollar deals (≥ $1 billion) while Rothschild & Co advised on two such deals.”
