Dealmaking to Surge Under New Administration, Rob Kindler Tells Barron’s
December 5, 2024
Global M&A Chair Rob Kindler spoke with Barron’s in a wide-ranging interview about what dealmakers can expect under the new administration. In “The Trump M&A Boom Is Coming. A Top Dealmaker Spells Out What’s Next,” published on December 5, Rob notes that the industry is likely to see a more relaxed regulatory environment, which will be “extraordinarily favorable” for dealmaking. The deal structures he expects to see include strategic stock-to-stock deals as companies take advantage of the stock market being at an historic high, as well as continued private equity activity, particularly on the sell side, he says.
Rob also points out the potential for a massive increase in deal volume. “I can’t really recall a time where I thought there was this amount of pent-up demand heading into a new administration, and M&A continues to be critically important to companies,” he says.
