Mega-M&As to make a strong comeback in 2025: <\/strong>Big ticket mergers and acquisitions are expected to pick up in 2025 on the back of lower interest rates, bullish equity markets, and relaxed antitrust regulations, Reuters<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n

By the numbers:<\/strong> M&A transactions worth USD 10 bn or more accounted for a fifth of total activity over the past five years, exceeding USD 656 bn in 2024. This is a modest increase compared to 2023, but still a considerable decline from over USD 1 tn recorded in 2019.<\/p>\n

Monetary policy enables funding big M&As: <\/strong>The US Fed lowered interest rates by a full percentage point since September 2024. Central banks in the EU and around the world are also following suit, making debt-funding of M&A transactions easier due to lower borrowing costs. <\/p>\n

Antitrust regulations seem to be relaxing, too:<\/strong> Andrew Ferguson, Trump\u2019s pick for the Federal Trade Commission, called for ending the \u201cwar on mergers.\u201d Meanwhile, the EU\u2019s competition chief Teresa Ribera told the Financial Times<\/a> last September that the bloc\u2019s rules will \u201cevolve\u201d to help European companies scale up and face global competition.<\/p>\n

But, poor performance is a concern for shareholders:<\/strong> Analysis of 60 big-ticket M&As since 2020 found that three-quarters of buyers underperformed their sector benchmarks in terms of annualized shareholder returns by 7 percentage points on average. Notable failures include the 2021 merger of Discovery and Warner Media<\/a>, which saw annualized returns drop 30% since the last day before the merger.<\/p>\n

Buyers in financial services and healthcare fared particularly badly,<\/strong> underperforming their sector benchmarks by 9 and 10 percentage points on average. Pfizer\u2019s<\/a> USD 43 bn Seagen<\/a> acquisition and Royal Bank of Canada\u2019s<\/a> USD 10 bn purchase of HSBC Canada were among the flops, according to Reuters\u2019 analysis. <\/p>\n
