Sullivan & Cromwell Sees 2nd-Half M&A Staying Strong as Cross-Border Deal Pipeline Refills

1 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jul 1

Summary

  • Melissa Sawyer said Wednesday M&A volumes should remain strong in the second half, pointing to sustained activity rather than reliance on a few blockbuster transactions.
  • Deals across all sizes and sectors are supporting that view, she said, with broad-based activity suggesting the market has multiple sources of momentum.
  • Cross-border transactions are also contributing, and Sawyer said that mix should keep the pipeline replenished as completed deals roll off.
