Current M&A Landscape
Global M&A volumes moderated from pandemic-era highs but remain historically elevated. Strategic buyers with strong balance sheets are gaining share from financial sponsors facing higher cost of capital in leveraged transactions.
Sector Activity
Healthcare, technology, and business services continue to drive the most active M&A markets. Healthcare consolidation is accelerating as health systems, payers, and specialty groups pursue scale advantages and geographic expansion.
Valuation Correction
Multiple compression in private markets has created attractive entry points for disciplined acquirers. Companies that commanded 15-20x EBITDA multiples in 2021 are now trading at 8-12x, creating generational buying opportunities for patient investors.
IKON’s Pipeline
IKON Group maintains an active pipeline of acquisition opportunities across all our core sectors, with particular focus on founder-led businesses, corporate carve-outs, and under-invested platform companies seeking strategic partners.
