Corporate and M&A Magazine - M&A and PE in Europe: Q2 Results and Forecasts
Andersen's Corporate and M&A Service Line launches new edition of European Corporate Insights!
The newest edition highlights Q2 2025 M&A and PE trends in Europe, offering key insights into the current landscape.
Dive into the Guide for Key Insights:
🔹 Deal activity continued to decline, with €168B in M&A and €19B in PE transactions — both showing lower volume than in Q1.
🔹 Exit activity remains weak, with IPOs and secondary sales delayed amid valuation gaps and market volatility.
🔹 Sector focus narrowed, with capital concentrating in tech, energy transition, and financial services.
🔹 Mid-market deals under pressure, though private credit is helping bridge some financing gaps.
🔹 Emerging geographies: Romania, Ireland and Poland attract growing investor interest.
🔹 No strong rebound expected in H2 2025 —dealmaking remains slow and highly selective.
