An analysis of GlobalData’s Deals Database has revealed that Citi achieved its leading position in terms of value by advising on $48 billion worth of deals. Meanwhile, Evercore led in terms of volume by advising on a total of 14 deals.
Aurojyoti Bose, Lead Analyst at GlobalData, comments: “While both Citi and Evercore showcased year-on-year improvement in terms of value and volume, respectively, in H1 2024, the jump in total deal value was massive for Citi. The total value of deals advised by Citi registered more than a 10-fold jump during H1 2024 compared to H1 2023. Consequently, its ranking by value also took a big leap from 17th position in H1 2023 to the top position in H1 2024.
“During the review period, Citi advised on five billion-dollar deals*, which also included two mega deals valued at more than $10 billion. Involvement in these big-ticket deals helped Citi register a massive jump in terms of value as well as its ranking by this metric.
“Meanwhile, Evercore’s ranking by volume improved from fifth position in H1 2023 to the top position in H1 2024. Apart from leading by volume, it also occupied the third position by value during the review period.”
