This edition provides a comprehensive overview of current trends and strategic considerations in Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A). A recurring theme is the critical importance of post-merger integration, with experts emphasising that cultural alignment, talent retention, and early involvement of integration leaders are essential for achieving promised value, which often fails due to a focus on short-term financial gains rather than long-term strategy. The influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is another key focus, highlighted both as a tool to enhance M&A efficiency and as a driver for deals, though some sources caution that future AI acquisitions will require proven ROI over mere potential. Furthermore, several authors advocate for a programmatic M&A approach over sporadic, large deals for achieving greater returns, while other discussions cover crucial technical elements such as the importance of revenue quality in valuation, the necessity of financial due diligence, and the rising influence of family offices as buyers in the market.
