M&A Boom in 2026 Predicted
Update: 2025-12-20
Description
Despite initial hesitance due to Trumps election and economic uncertainties, the M&A market in 2025 saw a surge in deals, particularly in the second half of the year. Massive megadeals like Union Pacifics $85 billion bid for Norfolk Southern and Netflixs $72 billion play for Warner Bros. Discoverys streaming and studios drove the total value to $2.4 trillion. Middle-market activity remained sluggish due to high interest rates and tariff talks, but sectors like industrials, energy, and healthcare saw growth. Experts predict a hotter 2026, with banks and autos leading consolidation.
