2025 marked one of the strongest years for M&A on record, delivering the second-highest deal value ever in a broad-based rebound across all industries. The resurgence was fueled by renewed strategic focus, improved market conditions, and a wave of megadeals.

Join us for a live session with Bain’s M&A experts as we unpack the forces behind the 2025 rebound and discuss what they mean for 2026—as companies turn to M&A for strategic reinvention.
There will be an opportunity for Q&A.
