And they added to the positive energy in the room, overcoming some worried chatter about the Middle East, oil’s impact on inflation and the recent surge in the 10-Year Treasury Rate. There are plenty of deals, big and small, going around, leaving us more confident that we will break another M&A record in 2026. What we also left Nashville more confident about, which surprised...
