MARKET UPDATE
The “M&A Boom” many predicted for 2025 is slowly turning into more of a murmur. M&A pipelines are being extended into the back half of 2025. Banks are interviewing but are slow to pull the trigger. Morgan Stanley, BAML, and GS have all had layoffs over the last few weeks. The banks that are hiring are the ones that have either hired a bunch of MDs over the last few years or are predicting a pickup in M&A. Things will settle down in Washington, which will help stabilize the M&A market. Washington’s emphasis on deregulation and growth will fuel an M&A rally in the back half of the year and into 2026- just in time for midterm elections.
