WINDSOR,
Conn., Jan. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- SS&C
Technologies Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: SSNC) today announced Q1 2025
global and regional predictions from the SS&C Intralinks
Deal Flow Predictor, a quarterly publication of future
mergers and acquisitions (M&A) announcements.
"The global mergers and acquisitions (M&A) market continues
to navigate a landscape shaped by persistent economic challenges
and opportunities," said Bob
Petrocchi, co-head of SS&C Intralinks. "With the U.S.
elections in the rearview mirror and dealmakers now adapted to
market conditions, our proprietary data signals a resilient and
somewhat resurgent 2025 outlook. The market is optimistic
about continued equity market recovery, further normalization of
interest rates and private equity maintaining its current
pace."
Regional market forecasts for Q1 2025
M&A activity:
- Globally, M&A deal flow is expected to grow
2-12% above Q4 2024, in line with conditions seen a year ago.
- Asia Pacific markets
are likely to show moderate growth, building on 2024's recovery.
Early-stage deal flow in Hong
Kong, India and
Japan remains positive, while
Mainland China and South Korea are
expected to see mixed results.
- Europe, the Middle
East and Africa are showing signs of solid growth.
France, Germany and Spain all recorded strong early-stage
activity, and some Middle Eastern markets are also seeing
increases.
- Latin America is a
region to watch, with potential for continued positive momentum in
Mexico and Colombia. Signs of optimism are also emerging
in Brazil.
- North America is
expected to show deal volume growth of 2-5% in Q1 2025. With more
certainty about the political landscape and hope for continued
interest rate cuts, U.S. dealmakers are poised for more
transactions. Canada is poised for
steady growth, especially in the aerospace and energy sectors.
