Logistics M&A slower but opportunities still there

NEW YORK — Even in the midst of an almost historic freight recession, in which it seems almost every part of the supply chain — truckload, warehouses, brokerages — has taken a hit in valuations, deals did get done this year. 

Two recent confirmations of that beyond the usual anecdotal evidence: One, the monthly report of Logisyn Advisors reported 43 transactions in the logistics sector in November alone (down from 46 in August and apparently less than the number of deals in November 2022) and...

Then, of course, there is CMA CGM’s …
