Australian M&A in 1H24 remains cautiously strategic, as dealmakers focus on long-term value creation.
Earlier this year, our annual Dealmakers report found that 70% of respondents were planning to increase their M&A activities in Australia in 2024. Another 85% said that M&A conditions would improve, paving the way for greater deal volumes.
But sentiment and action are at odds, with dealmakers ultimately taking a cautious approach to M&A activity – however some bright spots, such as offshore buyer interest and steadying deal values and valuations, leave cautious optimism for the second half of the year.
