The M&A market has shown signs of recovery after a decrease in activity during the latter half of 2022 and the initial months of 2023 due to factors such as interest rate hikes, inflation, and geopolitical instability. However, with concerns about a recession easing and the Federal Reserve suggesting lower rates in 2024, the market is showing positive signs.
In preparation for an expected increase in activity, researchers have analyzed key deal characteristics of over a thousand business sales in the past two years. These findings offer valuable insights for both potential buyers and sellers looking to navigate the changing landscape of M&A.
Overall, the M&A landscape is experiencing a resurgence as economic conditions improve and confidence in the market grows. With careful analysis of past deals and an understanding of the current environment, businesses can capitalize on opportunities for growth and expansion through strategic M&A transactions.
