Despite a difficult venture market in 2022, M&A activity has been showing signs of recovery heading into 2025, particularly in the first quarter. Notable acquisitions included high-value deals from companies like Google and CoreWeave. However, the optimism was soon challenged by newly imposed tariffs announced by Donald Trump, leading to volatile stock prices and heightened uncertainty within the market. Investors are left wondering if the favorable conditions for M&A can hold amidst these developments.
Deals can get done even in down markets, but the challenge lies in whether M&A can thrive amidst continued uncertainties and fluctuating investor sentiment.
While Q1 2025 saw a significant uptick in M&A activity, external factors such as tariffs from the Trump administration quickly shifted market optimism to uncertainty.
