Coal M&A September 2022: Deal implied prices remain subdued
Report summary
A US$1.3 billion surge in deal-making over the course of August 2022 has not seen a lift in deal implied pricing. Adoption of decarbonisation goals could drive sellers to accept lower transaction prices than would otherwise be the case, and they also may have a more bearish view of the future prospects for coal than buyers. This is supporting M&A deals in an environment of record and volatile coal prices making valuation of assets problematic.
