Appetite for Commercial Aerospace Mergers & Acquisitions Undiminished by Economic Concerns, Says Lazard
According to fund manager Lazard, expectations of a prolonged upcycle driven by strong commercial aircraft backlogs are driving mergers and acquisitions.
Boeing, along with its rival Airbus, boosted airliner order backlogs last year, generating investment right through the supply chain, according to fund manager Lazard.

An extremely positive outlook for the commercial aerospace industry is driving strong mergers and acquisitions activity, according to Michael Richter, managing director of the aerospace and defense group at financial advisor and asset manager Lazard. In his view, companies and investors gravitate toward strong equity performance, revenues from healthy order backlogs and the perceived opportunity to enter markets during the early stage of an up-cycle.
