MorganFranklin Consulting and Focus Search Partners, A Vaco Company, had a great time connecting at HPE Miami! Here are some of the key insights we gathered: ?? Distributed Paid-In Capital (DPI) emerged as the primary focus, with an emphasis on exit realizations through both minority sales and full exits. ?? Operational improvements are viewed as the most effective way to create value in the current environment, surpassing both organic and inorganic growth. ?? Regulatory uncertainty has dampened optimism for H1, but many investors remain hopeful for an H2 recovery in the M&A market and are focused on ongoing value creation efforts. ?? Healthcare IT remains a key area of interest, despite a tempered outlook for healthcare M&A. The demand for enhanced cost efficiency continues to drive growth in healthcare IT, positioning it as a sector with significant opportunity, similar to 2024. If you’re looking to navigate the evolving M&A landscape or explore new opportunities in healthcare IT, let's connect!? .........
