In this episode of the M&A Mastermind podcast, host Nick Olsen interviews Bob Dunn from GF Data about the latest trends in lower and middle market M&A. They discuss the GF Data reports, which provide valuation information across different transaction sizes and industries.
Some key takeaways from the conversation are:
1) Deal volume is recovering, with a significant increase expected in the coming quarters, driven by private equity exits.
2) Interest rates are stabilizing, which is positive for the market.
3) Manufacturing has been hit hard on the debt side, while business services and retail are showing signs of recovery.
