Episode 147 - Foreign Interest in Canada’s Midmarket: A Global M&A Advisory Firm Perspective
Update: 2025-11-06
Description
In this episode, host Mario Nigro talks with Oaklins Canada partner Jonathan Sherman. As a worldwide M&A advisory firm, Oaklins is able to expose Canadian midmarket businesses to a global marketplace of potential buyers and sellers, in addition to assisting with purely domestic transactions. The discussion focuses on the effect of tariff-related uncertainty on potential foreign acquirors. Jonathan notes that while many buyers are hesitant about acquisitions in the metals and auto sectors, there is still a healthy appetite in the U.S. and overseas for acquisitions in CUSMA-protected industries. Looking ahead, Jonathan predicts that pent-up supply will drive higher deal volumes in 2026, fueled by succession planning and delayed transactions.
