M&A strategy shifting in the healthcare services space

In this episode of The Pipeline podcast, Anu Singh, a managing director in Kaufman Hall’s M&A practice, discusses the outlook for transactions in healthcare services and how the dealmaking strategy is changing to focus on strategic partnerships instead of just creating scale through consolidation. Singh expects private equity to remain interested in the space, especially on the physician side, but he added that regulators will likely continue to scrutinize market concentration. Overall, Singh sees dealmaking in healthcare services as being on the rise and anticipates that the activity will return to pre-COVID levels in 2026.

How Tariff Turbulence is Impacting the M&A Market

In this episode of The Pipeline, S&P Global Market Intelligence's Joe Mantone speaks with Carole Streicher, the deal advisory and strategy service group leader for KPMG in the U.S., to discuss the evolving landscape of M&A activity amidst changing economic conditions. They discuss the initial pause in M&A due to tariffs, which introduced significant economic uncertainty, and how companies are now reassessing their supply chains and considering geographic expansion as a strategic response. Streicher shares insights from KPMG's recent mid-year M&A survey, revealing that despite the challenges posed by tariffs, dealmakers remain optimistic about M&A prospects for 2025 and 2026, driven by favorable tax policies and antitrust initiatives from the current administration. The conversation highlights the complexities introduced by tariffs, which not only add costs and time to deals but also complicate the valuation process. The episode also addresses sector-specific trends, noting that industrial manufacturing and consumer retail are most impacted by tariffs. Streicher emphasizes the increasing activity in the energy sector, driven by the growing demand for energy, particularly in relation to the AI revolution. Looking ahead, they discuss the critical need for thorough due diligence and scenario modeling in navigating the current M&A landscape. Join this insightful discussion that offers valuable perspectives on the current and future state of M&A, providing essential information for deal practitioners.

The state of middle market M&A

On this edition of the Pipeline, an S&P Global Market Intelligence podcast, we speak with Michael Mufson, managing partner of the investment banking firm Mufson Howe Hunter. Many of the deals Michael's firm works on involve private equity. The absence of private equity has been a big reason for the downturn in M&A that started in 2022, but Michael sees that changing. The amount of dry powder in PE coffers along with the number of portfolio companies that PE needs to liquidate should serve as a catalyst for M&A, Michael said. But through the first half of 2024, M&A volumes have remained largely muted, especially in the middle market. I started off asking Michael about that. Here’s our conversation.

Mindset Around IPOs is Starting to Change

About six to nine months ago companies were preparing to stay private longer, but now management teams are gaining confidence that they can execute a successful IPO, said Dave Stadinski, Piper Sandler's global co-head of equity capital markets. A pickup in the IPO market would certainly be welcome by deal advisers because Stadinski notes the the current slowdown in the capital markets has been longer than the one that occurred around 2008 and the Great Financial Crisis.
