60 Seconds with Swett: M&A Activity Tops 350 Deals in H1:25

In the second quarter of 2025, there were 176 publicly announced transactions, a preliminary number that is almost certain to increase in the weeks ahead. That brings our total for the first half of the year to 355 deals, or 710 on an annualized basis.

After a slow May with 47 deals, we wondered if we would even have a chance of breaking 700 transactions for the year. But June bounced back with 64 deals, including some large portfolio deals. Looking at the second quarter, however, trouble may be brewing. Breaking out U.S. M&A activity, 2024 finished with 593 deals in... Read More »
