Dealmaking activity shows Trump tariffs derailed a budding M&A boom

After a brief setback caused by the Trump administration’s tariff policies, the outlook for mergers and acquisitions in the U.S. is once again optimistic. The year started off strong with a promising landscape for dealmaking, fueled by the pro-business stance of the Trump administration and a deregulatory agenda. However, the introduction of tariffs led to market volatility and a slowdown in activity.

Fortunately, with Trump’s suspension of the highest tariffs and a more stable market environment, dealmakers are once again eager to pursue opportunities. As long as borrowing costs remain favorable, experts anticipate a surge in M&A activity in the coming months.

According to Kevin Ketcham, a mergers and acquisitions analyst at Mergermarket, the total value of U.S. deals reached over $227 billion in March before tapering off in April. However, recent data shows a rebound in activity, with more than 300 deals valued at over $125 billion already struck in May.

Charles Corpening, chief investment officer of West Lane Partners, expects M&A activity to pick up after the summer. He notes that the trade war and higher bond yields have slowed down dealmaking, particularly in the second quarter. Corpening predicts a focus on special situations M&A and smaller transactions, which are easier to finance and face less regulatory scrutiny.

Several major deals have already been announced this year, with significant transactions occurring in the tech, telecommunications, and utilities sectors. Notable deals include Dick’s-Foot Locker and Kraft Heinz’s evaluation of potential transactions to unlock shareholder value.

Overall, the resurgence of M&A activity in the U.S. is a positive sign for the economy. With more clarity on trade policies and a recovering equities market, dealmakers are poised to capitalize on opportunities in a variety of sectors. As we move into the second half of the year, the outlook for mergers and acquisitions remains bright.
