US M&A landscape: Insights at your fingertips

Fuld’s H1 2025 US M&A dashboard is a comprehensive overview of the latest trends shaping the M&A landscape for time-poor professionals needing a quick update of what’s driving M&A activity this quarter.

What’s inside

  • M&A activity in H1 2025 saw an uptick in value terms, even as overall deal volume saw a modest decline from H1 2024. The market continued to favor fewer but larger transactions across diversified industries, despite the lingering uncertainty in the market.
  • Tariff-related uncertainty continued with firms choosing to give greater preference to domestic-focused targets and companies, which are less exposed to import costs. US-centric businesses became desirable, as reshoring and onshoring efforts continued. Sectors like industrials and technology, were among the most affected in terms of heavy dependence on global supply chains.
  • Looking ahead in the second half of the year, easing volatility and calming market sentiments may prompt previously shelved deals to return to the pipeline. Momentum for large-deals is expected to continue as buyers will exercise caution. With record dry powder available, PE buyers remain active but continue to scrutinize cross-border supply chains and tariff exposures.
