In the early 2000s, studies showed that 60% of M&As failed to generate the expected returns. Surprisingly, 20 years later, companies that made recurring acquisitions delivered returns, on average, 130% higher than those that stayed out of the market\u2014as revealed in a recent article by Bain & Company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What did these companies do differently?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Scope Expansion:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Companies like Cisco, Comcast, and Bank of America have expanded their capabilities and geographically, shifting their focus from defense and cost to growth and offense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. More Sophisticated Diligence:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
