Private company prices hold steady
Article Abstract:
The BDO Stoy Hayward Acquisitions Monthly private company price index (PCPI) has stayed fairly static in 1995, standing at 11.4 times earnings for the third qtr of 1995. The index measures the prices paid for UK private firms as multiple of fully-taxed profits. The number of takeover deals averaged 37 a month in the third qtr, up vs 32 in second qtr 1995 but still down vs the 1994 average of 44 a month. However, the figures exclude management buy-ins and buy-outs: this market has seen considerable growth, with up to 400 deals being completed so far in 1995.

A soft landing
Article Abstract:
The BDO Stoy Hayward/Acquisitions Monthly Private Company Price Index (PCPI) fell slightly to 10.3 during Q1 1997 in contrast to rising stock market p/es ratio movements. The PCPI will fall to 10.0 by 1998 and 9.3 by 1999, say experts. The private sector can expect to see an upward surge in the economy in the final years of the twentieth century due to stimulation from millennium building programmes.
