Andersen's Corporate and M&A Service Line launches new edition of European Corporate Insights. The newest edition highlights Q2 2025 M&A and PE trends in Europe, offering key insights into the current landscape.
Dive into the Guide for Key Insights:

- Exit activity remains weak, with IPOs and secondary sales delayed amid valuation gaps and market volatility.
- Sector focus narrowed, with capital concentrating in tech, energy transition, and financial services.
- Mid-market deals under pressure, though private credit is helping bridge some financing gaps.
- Emerging geographies: Romania, Ireland and Poland attract growing investor interest.
- No strong rebound expected in H2 2025 — dealmaking remains slow and highly selective.
