The state of middle market M&A

Season 2 · Episode 5

Wednesday, August 7, 2024 • Duration 16:45

On this edition of the Pipeline, an S&P Global Market Intelligence podcast, we speak with Michael Mufson, managing partner of the investment banking firm Mufson Howe Hunter. Many of the deals Michael's firm works on involve private equity. The absence of private equity has been a big reason for the downturn in M&A that started in 2022, but Michael sees that changing. The amount of dry powder in PE coffers along with the number of portfolio companies that PE needs to liquidate should serve as a catalyst for M&A, Michael said. But through the first half of 2024, M&A volumes have remained largely muted, especially in the middle market. I started off asking Michael about that. Here’s our conversation.

Bank M&A down but not out

Season 1 · Episode 4

Friday, June 2, 2023 • Duration 27:08

While many banks are being unfairly painted with a broad brush, institutions will face tougher regulatory examinations and pressure on probability and that should ultimately lead to a strong rebound in bank M&A activity. Those views were delivered by members of the investment and advisory community during two panel discussions focused on bank liquidity that S&P Global Market Intelligence hosted on May 18. The panels featured Ben Azoff, partner at Luse Gorman; Isaac Boltansky, director of policy research at BTIG; Bill Burgess, co-head of financial services investment banking at Piper Sandler; Greg Hertrich, head of U.S. depository strategies at Nomura; Jonah Marcus, partner and portfolio manager at Endeavour Capital; and Chris McGratty, head of US bank research at KBW. In the episode, we discuss the highlights of the panels with fellow moderator, Nathan Sovall, the head of S&P Global Market Intelligence’s financials research and the host of Street Talk, a podcast that takes a deep dive into the banking sector. The panelists offered their view of bank valuations, whether institutions should consider repositioning bond portfolios, takeaways from recent regulatory examinations and the outlook for M&A activity.
