Japan's M&A Boom: Records Shattered, Global Giants Join
Update: 2025-12-22
Description
Japans corporate dealmaking soars, shattering records with over $350 billion in transactions this year. Governance reforms boost shareholder returns, fueling a mergers and acquisitions boom. Conglomerates unload non-core assets, private equity firms deploy cash, and activist investors like Elliott Management push for privatizations. Global banks like Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, and JPMorgan beef up Japan teams for lucrative fees. Notable deals include NTTs $16 billion acquisition of NTT Data Group and Nippon Steels U.S. Steel buyout. Despite setbacks like the failed $46 billion bid for Seven & i Holdings, Japans dealmaking scene is primed for a wild 2025, with fresh links to India and bids like KKRs for Taiyo Holdings.
