Is 2026 the year of the deal? With interest rates dropping and pent-up demand unleashed, the global Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) landscape is heating up. This episode unpacks the major opportunities waiting for buyers and sellers in the coming year.

We discuss the game-changing One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) and how its tax benefits—like the return of 100% bonus depreciation—are fueling a new era of aggressive portfolio optimization. We also tackle the "elephant in the room": the Baby Boomer retirement wave. With a flood of businesses entering the market, we reveal how to spot the best opportunities and avoid common valuation traps. Whether you are eyeing AI infrastructure or looking to acquire a legacy business, this is your roadmap to the 2026 market.

Tune in to learn:

  • How monetary policy easing is reviving the deal market.
  • Why AI infrastructure spending is the new gold rush.
  • Strategies for leveraging QSBS exclusions under the OBBBA.
