MARKET UPDATE

112 M&A transactions closed last month, 30.9% lower than the average monthly transaction count over the previous ten years. As of July 31, M&A activity year-to-date is down 21.6% versus 2024. Cash on corporate balance sheets in North America was $6.8 trillion (USD). There was approximately $1.3 trillion (USD) of private equity dry powder, representing roughly $2.6 trillion (USD) in latent acquisition capacity when debt funding is factored in.

Equity markets remain steady, but transaction activity lags as buyers take more time to assess opportunities and proceed with greater caution.
