Episode 135 - Midmarket M&A and Market Uncertainty: Thoughts from a Top Canadian Dealmaker
Update: 2025-05-22
Description
Andrew Walton of Ironbridge Equity Partners joins Mario Nigro to discuss the current state of midmarket private equity and M&A in Canada. Ironbridge’s substantial portfolio includes industrial, manufacturing, and distribution businesses across most regions of Canada. Unsurprisingly, the discussion focuses on the ongoing impact of tariff-induced market uncertainty. Even transactions that are proceeding tend to move slowly, thanks in part to longer diligence processes and a go-slow attitude among many buyers. However, as Andrew notes, while tariffs cannot be avoided, some strategies that can partially mitigate their impact are already being deployed.
