Haig Partners:

Auto Retail M&A Update and How to Value Dealerships in a Declining Market

Webinar Description

Auto retail M&A activity remains robust and with plenty of buyers and sellers in the market right now, we expect the remainder of 2023 to be another busy year for transactions. We believe buy-sells activity will be comparable to 2022 where we saw 566 dealerships trade hands. However, there there is a potential challenge on the horizon. Getting buyers and sellers to agree on pricing. Buyers still want to value dealerships based on future earnings.  Sellers will want to value stores based on historical earnings. In this session, Haig Partners will share current trends impacting dealership values as well as discuss how to value dealerships in a declining market.
 
Attendees will learn:
  • What trends are having an impact on dealership values
  • How to value dealerships in a declining market
  • What steps you can take to increase value in your business
