Between private equity sponsors and corporations, trillions of dollars of dry powder and cash on hand—near all-time highs—are primed for spending on mergers & acquisitions. Ready capital has kept the M&A deal count close to last year’s levels, but the value of those deals has fallen. Purchase price multiples have also fallen — down 20% from the peak.  However, high growth lower middle market in certain industries, such as insurance distribution, niche consumer verticals, are holding valuations nicely. Growth rates, also, mitigate against softening valuation environment.

What does the current M&A landscape look like? What were the biggest deals of the year? What were the most significant trends and challenges of dealmaking in 2023?

The Q2 M&A report paints an intriguing picture of contrasting forces in play. While deal count remains relatively unchanged, the decline in deal value suggests that higher interest rates are impacting the landscape. Financial sponsors, in particular, have faced challenges due to rising borrowing costs, resulting in smaller deals. However, it is also important to note the significant amount of unspent dry powder both with financial sponsors and corporations. This begs the question: what is preventing these players from deploying their ample resources? Should they be more aggressive in making strategic investments, or is their caution justified in the current market conditions? I would love to hear your insights on striking the right balance between caution and taking advantage of available opportunities in the M&A space.
