D.A. Davidson & Co. Technology Investment Banking Group Crosses $20 Billion in Technology Transactions Year to Date

Momentum continues on the heels of D.A. Davidson’s completed acquisition of Marlin & Associates — deepening their expertise within the Financial Technology sector

D.A. Davidson Companies announced today that its middle market technology investment banking group has crossed the $20 billion threshold in transaction volume — advising 35 mid-market technology clients on successful M&A transactions and participating in 15 equity offerings since January 1, 2021. This milestone is in part due to D.A. Davidson’s recent acquisition of Marlin & Associates, one of the most active investment banks serving buyers, investors, and sellers of mid-market companies across the financial technology and data & analytics industries.

That has led to multiple benefits for clients across the spectrum, which has led to an explosion in business.”

“The addition of the Marlin team was a powerful strategic move for our group,” said Joe Morgan, co-head of D.A. Davidson’s technology investment banking group. “The combination will accelerate the achievement of our goal to be the pre-eminent firm for growth focused technology companies.”
