Exsitec Holding AB (publ) (OM:EXS) is looking for mergers and acquisitions. During the company's quarterly update for the first quarter of 2023, Johan Kallblad, Chief Executive Officer, said that ‘In terms of acquisitions, we've felt for a few quarters that it has been very hard to find price levels that work for both buyer and seller given the current interest rate environment and the new interest rate environment. So, we feel towards the end of the quarter that some of the discussions are opening up a little bit more and that the expectations for valuations are a little bit lower.

So maybe there will be some attractive M&A opportunities going into the coming quarters'. ‘I'm more optimistic about M&A now than what it was 3 months ago'.
