M&A Surge: Big Deals, AI Disruption, & Shareholder Activism
Update: 2025-12-04
Description
Mizuho Americas Michal Katz predicts a robust M&A market through 2023, driven by company growth and private equity firms selling assets. Large deals surged earlier this year, reaching $1.3 trillion, with notable transactions like the $85 billion rail deal and $40 billion data center acquisition. Katz attributes this surge to pent-up demand and companies future-proofing against AI disruption, leading to more mid-sized deals and increased activity for private equity firms. Shareholder activism is at record levels, with healthcare becoming an active sector for deals. Recent private credit market issues have made lenders more cautious, but Katz views them as isolated incidents.
