Trump Bump Expected to Boost US M&A Activity in the Coming Year

A recent report from A&O Shearman suggests that the incoming US President, Donald Trump, could give a significant boost to M&A activity in the US next year. UK-listed companies are being increasingly targeted by US acquirers, according to the Magic Circle firm.

This potential increase in merger and acquisition deals could be attributed to what has been dubbed the ‘Trump Bump.’ With Trump’s presidency on the horizon, it’s expected that the M&A market will experience a surge in activity. This trend suggests that US companies are looking to expand their reach and are eyeing opportunities beyond their borders, particularly in the UK.

With the prospect of a ‘Trump Bump,’ it’s clear that the M&A landscape is set for an interesting year ahead. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
