Global dealmakers 2024: Divestitures in M&A transactions
Recent analysis of global M&A trends by Baker Tilly International, in partnership with Mergermarket, reveals a notable rise in divestiture activity, particularly among businesses with operations in the US, the world’s largest M&A market. Carve-outs, where parent companies spin off business units to operate independently, are increasingly favoured by corporates aiming to boost agility and shareholder returns. This signals a shift towards leaner, more focused organisations.
The report - Global Dealmakers 2024 - highlights a significant increase in divestiture activity in M&A transactions, particularly in the US M&A market, as companies need to adapt to the rapidly changing market dynamics. There are interesting key takeaways to be found for dealmakers in the European M&A market.
