Florian Adomeit, Graig Gröbli, and I are taking a big look at M&A in 2025 today. It's a year that many have called a "transition year." Together, we're analyzing what drove it and why the upswing is taking so long, even though many were really hopeful at the start of the year.
We will then look ahead together to the year 2026 and use five theories to show why this could truly be the year of 'pragmatic change'.
We also take a look at our strategy: why we bought DUB in 2025 and why AMBER is suddenly on everyone's lips.
We shed light on this in this episode:
- why the boom did not materialize in 2025 after all,
- what role politics and economics will have played in 2025,
- what the situation was like on the buyer side and in private equity,
- what we are strategically planning with DUB and AMBER for 2026,
- which five theories support the idea that things could start looking up in 2026,
- and much more...
We wish you a great start to the new year 2026 and hope you enjoy listening!
