Doug Braunstein, Vice Chairman of Wells Fargo Investment Bank, recently shared his insights on the future of M&A activity, and the outlook is incredibly promising for 2025 and beyond. Several key factors are fuelling this optimism: 1. US Economy's Soft Landing – The anticipated decrease in interest rates by the Federal Reserve will allow for a smoother transition into a more stable growth phase. 2. Positive GDP Growth – Expectations for continued positive GDP growth in 2025 will create favorable conditions for strategic mergers and acquisitions, as companies look to capitalize on this expansion. 3. Robust Equity Markets – Instances of many companies issuing stock at their 52-week high prices, indicating strong investor confidence and healthy market conditions that will likely support M&A transactions. 4. Record Debt Issuance and Tight Credit Spreads – The debt market has seen record issuance, and the prevailing tight credit spreads provide a favorable financing environment for both strategic and financial buyers. With these economic indicators in place, M&A activity is set to continue its upward trajectory, offering exciting opportunities for businesses and investors alike. #MergersAndAcquisitions #USEconomy #InvestmentBanking #CorporateStrategy #LeveragedFinance#DebtIssuance #EconomicGrowth

It is Medicare open enrollment time! Review your plan. Talk to Roderick Spann, RSSA? ! Do not forget to check your current plan and other offerings. Has anything changed for you- health, prescriptions, location? I can guess the providers have changed, at least in the premiums... Make sure you have the right fit for your supplemental plan as well as your prescription plan. Rod told us at our event that specifically the prescription plan offerings keep dwindling. It was 30, then 20, next year even less than 20 choices to sign up for. Health care is one of the most important retirement goals we plan for at Mendham Capital. #retirementplanning #medicare #wealthmanagement #success Mendham Capital Management Bill Burke Daniel Long, CFP?
