Mergers and Acquisitions
Mergers and acquisitions have surged to unprecedented levels in recent years, and this trend of consolidation across various sectors is projected to continue accelerating as we progress through 2025 and into the next three to five years. The revival of leveraged acquisitions is a significant factor driving this growth, showing no signs of deceleration.
While organic growth remains a primary objective, strategic acquisitions that can enhance the value of publicly traded companies within 12 to 24 months present considerable advantages. Investors increasingly seek growth beyond mere yield, irrespective of whether a company is privately held or listed on exchanges like Nasdaq, the New York Stock Exchange, or international markets. The presence of institutional investors, including private equity firms, mutual funds, and pension funds, in publicly traded companies places an obligation on management to stimulate growth. This can be achieved through organic strategies or by pursuing strategic acquisitions or mergers with compatible firms.
For privately held companies, owners and management teams often consider exiting their undervalued enterprises for a number of reasons. Some may seek to be a part of a bigger picture, while others simply want to divest. In either case, we are open to confidential discussions.
