The upcoming US election is set to impact the M&A landscape, but Morgan Stanley predicts a strong M&A cycle regardless of the outcome. Historical data shows that presidential election cycles have mixed effects on M&A announcements. Instead, M&A activity is more driven by strong equity markets, open new issue markets, and incoming rate cuts. Whether it’s a Democrat or Republican victory, M&A momentum is likely to continue. What are your thoughts on the future of M&A in 2024? Do you think the election will significantly impact deal-making activity?
