#2 - THE MOST AGGRESSIVE FORTUNE 500 COMPANY IS NOT IN TECH

Pharma giant Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS), as reported by CB Insights, is currently the most aggressive Fortune 500 company, surpassing tech companies.

BMS has made three acquisitions worth over $4 billion each since October and has been actively engaged in partnerships, licensing, and venture investments in the pharma sector.

This increased activity is reflective of a broader trend of heightened M&A activity in the pharmaceutical industry, with other major players like Pfizer and AbbVie also making significant acquisitions. BMS's actions, signal a competitive environment in the pharmaceutical sector for 2024.
