Hospitality & Wellness

Size Analysis: The number of publicly traded fintech companies has exhibited a slight decline compared to the previous quarter (1Q2023). However, it's important to note that this reduction in the number of public Hospitality & Wellness companies do not necessarily imply a slowdown in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) within the Hospitality & Wellness sector. During the entirety of the first quarter of 2023, the Hospitality & Wellness industry witnessed a total of $31.6 billion in transaction value, comprising 629 transactions. This represents a noteworthy decrease of $49.4 billion compared to the previous quarter. Notably, when assessed against the SPX Index, the Hospitality & Wellness industry's performance shows a relatively modest underperformance of only -7.01%. These metrics suggest that the Hospitality & Wellness sector remains robust and dynamic, with ongoing M&A activities and resilience in terms of market performance.

​

Public Market Dynamics: The number of publicly traded companies decreased from 73 in the first quarter of 2023 to 62 in the second quarter of 2023. Interestingly, despite this reduction in the number of public companies, the market capitalization increased by a significant $100 million. The disparity in returns between the largest and smallest companies underscores the diverse performance landscape within the market during this period.

​

Transaction Trends: In total, there were 629 transactions in this period, comprising 349 M&A deals, 178 private placements, and 69 public offers.
