Sizing Up the Multiple: An Empirical Analysis of Target Scale and Valuation in Manufacturing M&A
Abstract This study examines whether larger acquisition targets command higher valuation multiples in manufacturing M&A transactions after controlling for profitability and industry effects.

Results show a statistically significant positive relationship between target size and valuation multiples, indicating a clear size premium.
