L'Oreal Q1 Sales €11.24 Billion, +9.4% Like-For-Like; Q1 Sales In North America +12.3% Like-For-Like At €3.02 Billion

The renowned French beauty conglomerate&nbsp;L'Oreal SA&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LRLCY#OTC">LRLCY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LRLCF#OTC">LRLCF</a>) is reportedly mulling over an investment opportunity in Omani luxury fragrance brand&nbsp;Amouage.
L'Oreal is in discussions regarding a potential acquisition of a minority stake in Amouage, reported Bloomberg, citing sources familiar with the matter.
Amouage, rooted in Oman's rich cultural heritage, is exploring a valuation exceeding €3 billion ($3.2 billion) for any prospective deal. Known for its opulent perfumes, Amouage has seen robust growth, with retail sales surpassing $210 million in 2023.
Founded in 1983, Amouage draws inspiration from Oman's historic significance as a trading hub for incense and myrrh.
Its premium fragrances, often dubbed as "the Gift of Kings," command prices as high as €365 for a 100-milliliter bottle, available in select boutiques and numerous retail outlets worldwide.
L'Oreal, a major player in the beauty industry, has been actively expanding its portfolio through acquisitions and licensing agreements.
Price Action: LRLCY shares closed lower by 2.28% at $90.94 Wednesday.

Scent-sational Move: L'Oreal Reportedly Considers Dive into Omani Luxury with Amouage Stake

Goldman Sachs has flagged an increasing concern over the U.S. stock market&#8217;s heavy concentration and the dominant sway of its largest tech stocks, urging investors to broaden<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global"> their geographical diversification.</a> 
According to Goldman Sachs equity analyst Ben Snider, &#8220;Concentration within the US equity market has surged to a multi-decade high,&#8221; with the 10 largest U.S. stocks now representing &#8220;33% of S&amp;P 500 market cap and 25% of S&amp;P 500 earnings.&#8221;
This level of market concentration, the highest in decades, has skewed overall market performance, propelling the S&amp;P 500 by 30% over the past year, while the median index constituent, as tracked by the Invesco S&amp;P 500 Equal-Weight ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RSP#NYSE">RSP</a>) only saw an 11% rise. The phenomenon has sparked widespread anxiety among the investment bank&#8217;s clients, wary of the &#8220;extreme current degree of market concentration&#8221; as unprecedented in recent history.
Peter Oppenheimer, Goldman Sachs&#8217; chief global equity strategist, underscored the fleeting nature of corporate dominance, noting, &#8220;dominant companies rarely stay the best performers over long periods of time.&#8221; 
Historical data supports this claim. Just over 10% of the Fortune 500 companies from 1955 maintain their status to the present day. This sheds light on the potential risks of over-concentration in today&#8217;s market giants.
A Call for a Barbell Strategy: Despite high concentration, today&#8217;s companies are not valued like those from the dot-com era. The current U.S. top 10 stocks boast higher profit margins and return on equity (ROE) than their predecessors. Valuations, while robust, are justified by their superior returns on capital.
However, Goldman Sachs noted that &#8220;investors face a flatter trajectory for equity markets over the next few years as a higher cost of capital and less globalization mean lower returns.&#8221;
Analysts advised investors to adopt a &#8220;barbell approach&#8221; to investing. This strategy recommends a mix of defensive companies with strong balance sheets, mature cash-generative firms, and smaller-cap entities with lower valuations.
Spotlight on Japan: Japan emerged as a particularly promising market. Goldman Sachs sees it as a &#8220;restructuring opportunity&#8221; where the bank is overweight. 
Moreover, investors favor the healthcare sector — excluding Japan — for its combination of relative cheapness. It also has high growth potential, likely to benefit from advancements in AI technology.

Top Wall Street Analysts Flag US Market Concentration Anxiety, Advise Investors To Adopt 'Barbell Approach'

While many of the world&#8217;s investors remain focused on "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/02/36897355/what-are-the-magnificent-7-stocks-why-do-they-dominate-the-market">The Magnificent Seven</a>" — a group of tech stocks that significantly outperformed in 2023 — a small group of European stocks has quietly outperformed most of the world. 
Based on the first letters of their names, Goldman Sachs dubbed this group &#8220;Granolas,&#8221; and it accounted for 50% of gains of the Stoxx Europe 600 Index for the past year.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Who are the Granolas?</h3>
Granolas refers to a group of 11 European stocks operating in the healthcare and pharmaceutical sector, with an addition of luxury, consumer staples, industrial manufacturing and software technology. They include:
<ul>
<li>GSK plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GSK#NYSE">GSK</a>): The pharmaceutical company, founded in 1715, operates through four segments: Pharmaceuticals, Pharmaceuticals R&amp;D, Vaccines, and Consumer Healthcare. The company's arguably most famous product is pain reliever Advil. Its stock trades at 13.8x the earnings — below the industry's average. It pays a 3.5% dividend with a reasonable 48% payout ratio. One potential weakness is its high level of debt, which grew during the COVID-19 pandemic but has been improving over the last two years.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Roche Holding AG (OTCQX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RHHBY#OTCQX">RHHBY</a>): The Swiss pharmaceutical giant touts over 100,000 employees and has a broad portfolio of products, including in vitro tests for various diseases such as cancer, diabetes, COVID-19 and others. It boasts a healthy 19% profit margin and a price-to-earnings ratio 16.1x, which is well below the industry average. The company, founded in 1896, pays a stable and growing 4.1% dividend with a reasonable 67% payout ratio. Its debt-to-equity ratio has doubled from 40% in 2019 to over 80% in the aftermath of the COVID-19 Pandemic.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>): Dutch developer, producer and seller of advanced semiconductor equipment systems for chipmakers. It is a key company in the global semiconductor supply chain and the only company capable of supplying extreme ultraviolet lithography technology. This technology is crucial for producing the most advanced microchips with nodes as small as 7,5 or 3 nanometers. A single machine costs more than $200 million. Its stock trades at 43.4x its earnings. The company has a net profit margin of over 28% but pays a minuscule dividend of 0.7%. It has an excellent balance sheet, with cash exceeding the debt by almost 50% and a forecasted annual growth of 15.6%.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Nestlé S.A. (OTCPK:NSRGY): The food and beverage conglomerate has over 270,000 employees and operates household brands such as Nescafe, Nespresso, Maggi, Thomy and Hot Pockets. Its stock trades at 22.3x, above the European average for that industry, but expected given the company's status. Its net profit margin is hovering around 12%, and its sustainable 3.1% dividend has been stable. However, the company has doubled its debt over the last ten years and it currently amounts to almost $60 billion.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Novo Nordisk (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>): Danish global pharmaceutical company specializing in diabetes and obesity care and rare diseases. The company's most famous product is Ozempic, a diabetes treatment that has gained popularity as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/02/37284940/obesity-solutions-like-weight-loss-drugs-to-act-as-catalyst-for-economic-surge-goldman-sachs-fore">weight loss drug</a>. Ozempic alone generated almost $14 billion in revenues in 2023, three times more than its second-best product, Wegovy. The stock trades around 45x its earnings, with a solid net profit margin of 36%. The company also pays a 1.1% dividend, which is below the industry average. However, its balance sheet is pristine, with comfortably more cash than debt and growth prospects of around 13%.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Novartis (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVS#NYSE">NVS</a>): In 2023, the company generated $45.5 billion in revenues, mainly from the U.S. ($18 billion) and Europe ($13 billion). Its products include Cosentyx, cardiovascular drug Entresto and Piqray, a cancer-treating drug. The stock trades at 24.8x its earnings, with a net profit margin of 18.3%. It pays a notable 3.6% dividend, but the payout ratio has been stretched to 95%. Novartis carries $24.6 billion of debt, but it is not a concerning sum, given the company&#8217;s size. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>L&#8217;Oréal S.A. (OTCPK:LRLCY): French manufacturer and seller of cosmetic products. Often considered the world's most valuable cosmetics brand, under its umbrella it operates brands such as Maybelline New York, Garnier, NYX Professional Makeup, CeraVe, and Redken. The stock trades at 38.9x its earnings with a net profit margin of 15%. Its 1.5% dividend is not notable but boasts a low payout ratio, stability and comfortable growth potential. The balance sheet is strong, with a debt-to-equity ratio of less than 10%, indicating conservative risk practices.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>LVMH Moët Hennessy &#8211; Louis Vuitton Société Européenne (OTCPK:LVMHF): French-based, globally-operating luxury goods company owns iconic brands like Louis Vuitton, Tiffany &amp; Co., Christian Dior, Fendi, Givenchy, Princess Yachts, TAG Heuer, Hublot, Dom Pérignon, Hennessy and many others. Its CEO, Bernard Arnault is the wealthiest person in the world <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbeswealthteam/article/the-top-ten-richest-people-in-the-world/">per</a> Forbes' 2024 list. The stock trades at 28x its earnings with a 17.61% net profit margin. The company pays a 1.5% dividend, which is the industry average, but owing to a low payout ratio there is plenty of room for growth. The balance sheet is very strong, with some debt in the aftermath of 2020, but it is not notable given the company's size.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>AstraZeneca PLC (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZN#NASDAQ">AZN</a>): The UK-based biopharmaceutical company developed the Oxford- AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, sold under brand names Vovishield and Vaxzevria. The stock trades at 33.8x its earnings with a net profit margin of 13%. A 2.2% dividend is below the industry average but has sustained steady growth over the last decade. In 2021, the company took on almost $10 billion of debt, which remains a burden on the balance sheet, although some of it has already been paid off.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Sanofi (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNY#NASDAQ">SNY</a>): French-based healthcare company focusing on neurology, immunology, rare diseases, oncology, rare blood disorders and cardiovascular diseases. Its most famous product is DUPIXENT (Dupilumab), a drug used for atopic dermatitis and asthma. The company trades at 20.6x its earnings with a net profit margin of 11.7%. A dividend is Sanofi's strong side, paying 4.2% with a track record of stability and growth. The balance sheet is strong, with debt decreasing, equity rising and comfortable levels of cash and short-term investments.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>SAP SE (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAP#NYSE">SAP</a>): The German enterprise application software provider is a global leader in enterprise resource planning (ERP) software and the largest non-American software company by revenue. It trades at 53.9x its earnings, the highest valuation from the GRANOLAS list. The company has a 12% profit margin and pays an unimpressive 1.2% dividend. It boasts a strong balance sheet with more cash than total debt, indicating management's conservative approach to risk.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Granolas vs. The Magnificent Seven</h3>
There are three main advantages these stocks hold over The Magnificent Seven.
<ol>
<li>Low Volatility: These stocks are not as volatile as The Magnificent Seven, and they achieve similar results. Investors can compare these two groups by measuring the stock's average <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-calculate-beta">Beta</a>, a measure of volatility compared to the underlying market index. Another popular metric to show the impact of such investments is the Sharpe ratio. It&#8217;s one of the most widely used metrics for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/understanding-risk-adjusted-return">measuring risk-adjusted return</a>.</li>
<li>Lower Valuation Multiple: The lower valuation of European stocks is noteworthy. On average, their price-to-earnings ratio is around 30. For the Magnificent Seven, this is over 46x as of March 2024.</li>
<li>Higher Dividend Yield: The Magnificent Seven are not known for their yield. Only three stocks of the group pay a dividend, with the highest one (Apple) yielding a paltry 0.5%. On the other hand, every single GRANOLAS stock pays a dividend, averaging a 2.42% yield. Combined with lower volatility, this fact makes them particularly attractive to long-term yield-oriented investors.</li>
</ol>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Investing In Granolas Via ETFs</h3>
Although many of the Granola stocks trade on U.S. exchanges, domestic investors might consider the VanEck Pharmaceutical ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PPH#NASDAQ">PPH</a>), which invests in the largest pharmaceutical companies.
Pacer Trendpilot European Index ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PTEU#BATS">PTEU</a>) is another option. It is biased toward large-cap Eurozone equities, with 3/5 top holdings in GRANOLAS.
European investors should opt for iShares Core EURO STOXX 50 ETF. It offers over 40% of portfolio exposure to Granolas, or SPDR MSCI Europe Health Care UCITS ETF, which focuses on European healthcare industry.

11 'Granolas' Stocks Outperform Magnificent 7 With Lower Volatility, Higher Yields

In a historic milestone for women in business, 70-year-old Francoise Bettencourt Meyers, the heiress to the L&#8217;Oreal fortune, has become the first woman to exceed a net worth of $100 billion.
What Happened: Bettencourt Meyers&#8217; wealth rose to a staggering $100.2 billion, Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-12-28/l-oreal-heir-francoise-bettencourt-meyers-is-first-woman-to-hit-100-billion">reported</a> on Thursday. The significant increase in her wealth is primarily connected to the record-breaking shares of L'Oréal SA (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LRLCY#OTC">LRLCY</a>), the beauty magnate established by her grandfather, experiencing its most successful year since 1998.
Despite this considerable fortune, Bettencourt Meyers is still behind Bernard Arnault, the founder of LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SE (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LVMUY#OTC">LVMUY</a>), whose wealth is estimated at $179.4 billion. The thriving luxury retail sector in France has led to the creation of several ultra-wealthy families.

The Bettencourt Meyers family owns the majority stake in L'Oréal, roughly 35%. The company, which has a market value of €241 billion ($268 billion), has been under the management of non-family executives for multiple decades.
Following her mother&#8217;s passing in 2017, Bettencourt Meyers&#8217; fortune received a substantial boost. A legal battle over the family&#8217;s wealth became a political scandal, recently featured in a three-part documentary on Netflix.
According to Brett Cooper, an analyst at Consumer Edge Research, L'Oréal&#8217;s stock could see a further rise of around 12% in the coming year, thanks to its product range and global diversity.
Why It Matters: The rise of Bettencourt Meyers&#8217; fortune marks a significant shift in the wealth landscape, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entrepreneurship/23/01/30424327/yes-elon-musk-is-rich-and-so-is-bill-gates-but-who-are-the-wealthiest-women-in-the-wor-3">historically dominated by men</a>. In April 2023, the wealth gap between men and women has been gradually narrowing as more women assume leadership and ownership roles in companies. High-profile business figures like Elon Musk, Bernard Arnault, Gautam Adani, and Bill Gates have traditionally dominated the world's richest rankings.

L&#39;Or&eacute;al&nbsp;Co.&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/lrlcf#OTC">LRLCF</a>) (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/lrlcy#OTC">LRLCY</a>), a global leader in the beauty industry, is undergoing significant transformations under the leadership of its CEO, Nicholas Hieronimus, according to a&nbsp;note&nbsp;by Bloomberg.
Hieronimus <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-09-21/l-oreal-ceo-sees-beauty-market-rising-to-400-billion-by-2030?srnd=premium-asia&amp;sref=TBDibEcD">projects</a> the beauty market to escalate to a staggering &euro;400 billion ($426.8 billion) by 2030, up from its current &euro;270 billion.
Embracing Beauty Tech
The most significant transformation in the beauty industry, according to Hieronimus, is the integration of advanced technology, the report added.&nbsp;
L&#39;Or&eacute;al is harnessing the power of AI to enhance the performance of beauty products, offering personalized solutions and advanced diagnostics, Bloomberg added.&nbsp;
The company&#39;s commitment to technology is evident, with an annual investment exceeding $1 billion to pioneer the beauty tech frontier.
L&#39;Or&eacute;al&#39;s dedication to sustainability began in the early 2000s, leading to a significant reduction in CO2 emissions.&nbsp;
While the company is reportedly committed to using 100% recycled plastic by 2030, the limited availability of recycled plastic presents challenges. To address this, L&#39;Or&eacute;al is investing in new technologies to convert waste into recyclable plastic, Bloomberg reported.

Oppenheimer&nbsp;analyst Rupesh Parikh reiterated an<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ULTA/analyst-ratings" style="background-image:initial; background-position:initial; background-size:initial; background-repeat:initial; background-attachment:initial; background-origin:initial; background-clip:initial; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; color:#4a6ee0" target="_blank">&nbsp;Outperform rating&nbsp;</a>on the shares of&nbsp;Ulta Beauty Inc&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ulta#NASDAQ">ULTA</a>) with a price target of $540.
The company is expected to report its second-quarter FY23&nbsp;<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" style="background-image:initial; background-position:initial; background-size:initial; background-repeat:initial; background-attachment:initial; background-origin:initial; background-clip:initial; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; color:#4a6ee0" target="_blank">earnings on August 24.</a>
Based on the review of recent data points, the analyst still sees a healthy beauty backdrop with continued strength in the mass category.
According to the analyst, headwinds remain in the hair category for ULTA, with a difficult Olaplex lap and still challenged hair tools, which could limit the magnitude of comp upside.
For Q2, consensus estimates for a comp increase of 6.3% and EPS of $5.83 appears achievable. The analyst believes the backdrop is slightly more promotional Y/Y.
ULTA shares trade more consistent with historical trough levels at 17.4x NTM consensus estimates. The current level is an attractive entry point for the longer-term players.&nbsp;
The analyst will continue to monitor student loan impacts on the beauty category, a likely increased promotional intensity Y/Y, and prestige brand additions on&nbsp;Amazon.com Inc&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/amzn#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), with&nbsp;L&#39;Oreal Co&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/lrlcy#OTC">LRLCY</a>) moving more aggressively on the platform.&nbsp;
On the guidance front, the analyst expects ULTA to maintain the FY23 guide, even with any potential Q2 upside, amidst a more uncertain 2H with the pending student loans restart and the typical conservative nature of the management team.
Price Action: ULTA shares are trading lower by 4.03% at $429.88 on the last check Tuesday.

Despite Hair Category Challenges, Ulta Beauty Set For Steady Q2 Performance With Eye On Amazon's Prestige Brands: Analyst

The French stock market, as represented by the CAC 40 index, has risen for five days this week, gaining 3.3% and marking the best weekly performance since <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/eurozone/23/04/31766176/french-cac-40-index-rockets-to-new-heights-on-luxury-stocks-wings-as-us-inflation-rate-slows" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the end of March</a>.
This occurred despite the fact that nationwide protests have erupted in recent days, with images of burning streets and police use of tear gas capturing the attention of the world, highlighting the deep divisions and tensions within French society.
The police shooting death of a 17-year-old boy of Algerian descent in Nanterre, a Paris suburb, sparked widespread protests across the French capital, with protesters demanding justice and an end to police brutality.
As riots ravaged the nation, over 400 people were arrested on Thursday, and a bank in Nanterre was set on fire. Over 40,000 police officers were deployed, and public transportation was strained.
All of this turmoil had virtually no negative impact on the performance of French companies in the stock market.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Are French Stocks Ignoring The Civil Unrest?</h2>
The CAC 40 index, tracked by the iShares MSCI France ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWQ#NYSE">EWQ</a>), is predominantly represented by luxury brands that generate a significant portion of revenues from international markets.
LVMH Moët Hennessy &#8211; Louis Vuitton, Société Européenne (OTCPK: LVMHF), the conglomerate of luxury product brands such as Louis Vuitton, Moët &amp; Chandon, Hennessy, Dior, Dom Pérignon, Givenchy and others, and headed by by the world&#8217;s richest man, Bernard Arnault, accounts for 14% of the CAC 40 Index.

France contributed only 8% of LVMH&#8217;s total revenues in 2022, totaling 6 billion euros ($5.9 billion). Revenues of 21.5 billion euros, or 27%, came from the United States, making it the second-largest market after Asia.
L&#8217;Oréal S.A. (OTCPK: LRLCY), another CAC 40 heavyweight, generates only a small portion of its revenue domestically, with more than three quarters coming from outside Europe.
Thus, the international focus that characterizes French luxury brands has effectively created a protective shield against the impact of domestic political and social upheavals in the country where the brands are headquartered.

French Stock Market Defies Chaos With 5-Day Winning Streak Amid Nationwide Riots

DA Davidson&nbsp;analyst Linda Bolton Weiser reiterated a Buy rating on the shares of&nbsp;E.L.F. Beauty, Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/elf#NYSE">ELF</a>),&nbsp;<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ELF/analyst-ratings" style="background-image:initial; background-position:initial; background-size:initial; background-repeat:initial; background-attachment:initial; background-origin:initial; background-clip:initial; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; color:#4a6ee0" target="_blank">raising the price target to $124 from $121</a>.
The analyst applauded ELF&#39;s momentum and health on social media, where the company has increased its Facebook and Instagram followers by 12%.&nbsp;
ELF moved up by one spot in DA Davidson&#39;s last mass beauty social media ranking, where it was the ninth fastest-growing big brand in the survey, with followers +12%.

However, the analyst cautioned as the company depends on a limited number of retailers for a large portion of its net sales.
The analyst adds that the company is also subject to international economic uncertainties, especially in the U.K. and China.

E.L.F. Beauty's Rising Social Media Influence Boosts Prospects Despite Economic Uncertainties, Analyst Says

Negative&nbsp;news flows&nbsp;are trickling out of Europe ahead of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premarket/" target="_blank">Wall Street&#39;s opening bell on Wednesday.</a>
All European stock indices traded deeply in the red, as investors panicked after a fresh acceleration of inflation in the U.K. and a deadlock in U.S. debt limit discussions.
What Happened: U.K. inflation came in at 8.7% annually in April. That&#39;s down from 10.1% in March, but well above the 8.2% expected.
Inflation accelerated 1.2% on the month, more than the 0.8% expected.
The U.K. core inflation rate, which excludes food and energy and provides a more accurate picture of the root causes of inflation, increased by a more alarming 6.8% yearly &mdash; much above the 6.2% forecast and the highest level since March 1992.
Core inflation soared by 1.3% on a monthly basis, far more than the predicted 0.7%.
Traders revised upward their estimates for rate increases from the Bank of England and now fully factor in an additional 100 basis points of hikes&nbsp;in 2023, with rates predicted to peak at 5.5%.
On Tuesday, European Central Bank speakers delivered hawkish comments, with Governor Christine Lagarde stating that &quot;rates are to stay restrictive for as long as necessary.&quot;
In Germany, the Ifo Business Climate indicator for May, dropped from 93.4&nbsp;to 91.7,&nbsp;falling short of forecasts of 93.0. This is the first monthly decrease in Germany&#39;s business conditions since October, as the outlook worsened due to recent hikes in interest rates and persistently high inflation.&nbsp;
Elsewhere, stocks in China, tracked by the Shangai Shenzen CSI 300 index,&nbsp;pulled back to levels unseen since mid-December 2022,&nbsp;erasing all gains made in the year.&nbsp;
<h3>Chart of The Day</h3>
U.K. core inflation climbs to 30-year highs, but Bank of England rates remain well behind.

LVMH, L'Oréal Mull Stake In Cosmetics Brand Aesop: Report

This year started off on rocky footing that&rsquo;s made many investors nervous. In the mergers and acquisitions (M&amp;A) markets, worldwide activity decreased <a href="https://www.refinitiv.com/perspectives/market-insights/mega-deals-prop-up-a-nervous-ma-market/#:~:text=Worldwide%20M%26A%20activity%20totalled%20US,the%20first%20half%20of%202021.">21%</a> in the first half of 2022 compared to the same period last year.
Both the average deal value and the total number of transactions declined. For business owners looking to sell their business, news like that is understandably worrying.&nbsp;
Some might even be reconsidering whether this is really the right time to sell. But when digging a little deeper into those numbers, the actual state of the M&amp;A markets are more complex and may not be as bad as those scary headlines make them sound &mdash; at least not for the lower to middle segments of the market.&nbsp;
<h2>How Much Worse Off Are M&amp;A Markets Really?</h2>
<a href="https://www.spglobal.com/marketintelligence/en/news-insights/blog/global-ma-by-the-numbers-q1-2022">According to S&amp;P Global</a>, there was roughly a 9% drop in the number of deals between the first quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022. Even with the dip, the first quarter still saw more deals closed than the same period in 2019 or 2020, making some analysts estimate the year could end with <a href="https://www.bain.com/insights/global-m-and-a-report-midyear-2022/">$4.7 trillion</a> in total deal value.&nbsp;
That&rsquo;s behind the record-breaking $5.9 trillion in M&amp;A activity in 2021, but it would still make 2022 the second-best year on record.
For lower to middle markets, for businesses valued at under $500 million, the trends are even more heartening. Not only is the drop in the number of deals not as steep, but analysts expect geopolitical conflict and COVID-19 to <a href="https://www.globaldata.com/media/thematic-research/global-ma-activity-dropped-q1-2022-following-staggering-growth-2021-says-globaldata/">drive more M&amp;A activity</a> &mdash; not less &mdash; in this segment. Consolidation is one of the key strategies for weathering the added pressures of uncertain economic conditions.
Plus, last year, private equity firms were raising tons of capital, but they won&rsquo;t actually get paid until they deploy that capital. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/22/07/27958229/founders-first-every-time-says-the-ceo-of-this-m-a-marketplace-focused-on-helping-entrepreneurs-sell">According to Exitwise CEO Todd Sullivan</a>, &ldquo;There is more than $1 trillion that needs to get deployed.&rdquo; So, uncertain conditions or not, markets are still likely to see a lot of M&amp;A activity across many sectors.
<h2>Is The Key To Selling A Business In 2022 Finding The Right Buyer?</h2>
Economic history often points to the idea that you can&rsquo;t time the market. Sitting on a business because you think this isn&rsquo;t the right time to sell can theoretically end up being a riskier move than selling in an uncertain climate.
But that doesn&rsquo;t mean a company just needs to find the first buyer it can and sell for whatever they offer. Getting ducks in a row first might be a big help. Businesses should arguably prepare to be sold and reach out to the right investment bankers, M&amp;A attorneys and tax accountants who know their industry.
Companies like <a href="https://www.exitwise.com/about/our-story">Exitwise</a>, for example, connect clients with a growing network of M&amp;A experts who specialize in specific industries to attempt to get the best possible deal. Exitwise says that it works with thousands of tax accountants, investment bankers and M&amp;A attorneys with specialized expertise across hundreds of industries.
Exitwise also reports that its network of industry-leading M&amp;A experts have deep relationships with buyers like Activision Blizzard Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/atvi#NASDAQ">ATVI</a>), Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/msft#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and L&rsquo;Oreal SA (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/lrlcy#OTC">LRLCY</a>) that are often looking for M&amp;A opportunities, regardless of market conditions.
Companies may not be able to time the market, but with expert help, they can at least hopefully make sure they&rsquo;re doing everything in their power to get the best outcome, no matter what market conditions are.

Despite A 21% Decline In M&A Activity, 2022 Is Still Poised To Become Second-Best Year On Record

The global network of merger and acquisitions (M&amp;A) experts at <a href="https://www.exitwise.com/">Exitwise</a> have seemingly seen it all when it comes to founders and owners selling their businesses.&nbsp;
As founders themselves who&rsquo;ve experienced the successes and failures of selling a business firsthand&nbsp; the Exitwise team says it leverages decades of experience and industry relationships to help fellow business owners get the best possible outcome as they navigate their exits.&nbsp;
Here are five essential dos and don&rsquo;ts that the advisers at Exitwise report that they want every founder to know before selling a business.&nbsp;
<h2>Do - Figure Out How Much Money You Need</h2>
&nbsp;
While the ultimate value of the sale is determined by what the buyer is willing to pay, it helps to have a number in mind of what you actually need as you negotiate. This can help you determine whether an offer is worth considering and even figure out whether now is the right time to sell.&nbsp;
As a business owner, you&rsquo;ve probably gotten used to a generous expense account and company-financed business trips and meals. You might also be used to having <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//money/best-affordable-health-insurance/">health insurance</a> provided through your business &mdash; and all the tax and financial incentives that come with it.&nbsp;
These are all things that you&rsquo;ll have to pay for out of pocket after the sale. So the amount of money you need is not necessarily the same as your current out-of-pocket spending. Make sure you&rsquo;re factoring in added expenses and cost increases that will come with maintaining the standard of living you want after you exit.
If you&rsquo;re planning to finance a new venture with this sale or leave money to your children, make sure you&rsquo;re working with a realistic budget, including enough padding for unexpected costs or obstacles.
<h2>Do - Understand And Plan For The Tax Implications Of The Cash Windfall From A Sale</h2>
&nbsp;
An easy mistake to make when coming up with that target amount you need from the sale is overlooking the tax implications of getting that large cash windfall. While you&rsquo;ll likely end up seeing a higher tax bill as a result no matter what, proper planning and preparation can help you develop a more tax-efficient strategy.&nbsp;
<h2>Don&rsquo;t - Get Careless With The Details</h2>
&nbsp;
Buyers are cautious and extremely wary of getting burned in an M&amp;A transaction so the onus is on you to make sure the paperwork is in order, accurate and free of any red flags that could scare a potential buyer off.
&ldquo;Buyers can and will root out any inaccuracies in statements, reports or forecasts,&rdquo; Exitwise founder Todd Sullivan warns.&nbsp; If your books haven&rsquo;t been audited recently, make sure you schedule one before scheduling any meetings with potential buyers.
You should be equally thorough with your legal foundation &mdash; being prepared to disclose any litigation or potential legal exposure that could come out during the buyer&rsquo;s due diligence.
<h2>Don&rsquo;t - Neglect Your Day-to-Day Operations In The Meantime</h2>
&nbsp;
When you&rsquo;re preparing to sell, it&rsquo;s easy to get so wrapped up in making sure your paperwork is in order and the terms are squared away that you lose focus on actually running the business. Be aware that a revenue dip just before a sale is finalized can kill the deal altogether.&nbsp;
Be prepared to have a full plate (and to delegate well) during this process so that you can exit cleanly without worrying about the sale falling through at the last minute.
<h2>Don&rsquo;t - Risk Your Biggest Financial Asset By Trying To Go It Alone</h2>
&nbsp;
Navigating all of these discussions about how much money you need and how to prepare for the tax implications, all while thoroughly auditing your company&rsquo;s financial and legal records, is not easy to do on your own, even if you have sold a business before.
On top of all those logistics, you need to get meetings with the right buyers and navigate the actual negotiations and terms of the sale itself. To do that, you need great representation and support &mdash; specifically from attorneys, accountants and investment bankers who know your industry.
&ldquo;You need the top investment banker or M&amp;A adviser who focuses exclusively on your specific industry,&rdquo; Exitwise CEO Todd Sullivan said. &ldquo;This is somebody who&rsquo;s sold multiple businesses just like yours, who already has personal relationships with your likely strategic buyers.&rdquo;
To help with that, Exitwise says it has assembled a premium network of industry specialized M&amp;A experts, all with deep personal buyer relationships with industry leaders like Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/msft#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Activision Blizzard Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/atvi#NASDAQ">ATVI</a>) and L&rsquo;Or&eacute;al SA (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/lrlcy#OTC">LRLCY</a>) to help businesses of all sizes find the right opportunity to sell.
After an initial consultation to learn about the history, financial performance and management of your business, Exitwise reports that it will screen its database of hundreds of investment bankers, M&amp;A attorneys and tax accountants spanning over 200 industries and present you with a shortlist of the best matches based on industry familiarity, transaction history and fee structure.&nbsp;
