Dear,
As we close out the second quarter of 2025, markets have proven more resilient than expected amid geopolitical uncertainty and tariff-related fears. Despite this, European M&A activity has cooled markedly, with deal volumes at multi-year lows – though appetite for high-quality assets remains strong.
In this edition, we explore the latest macro trends and review MergerMarket’s data on dealmaking across Europe. We’re also proud to have supported a client in a strategic cross-border transaction, underscoring our continued commitment to advising companies on transformative growth.
Please note that the newsletter will pause during the summer months. We’ll be back in September with fresh insights.
Enjoy the reading!
Sincerely,
The VDP team
