Resilience of The Heartland Prevails
Rochelle Park, NJ – The DAK Group, a leading investment bank specializing in middle market mergers and acquisitions, is pleased to announce the publication of The Midwest M&A Trends Report. This analysis is the first of its kind and our findings reveal that the “Midwestern Resilience” mantra is well applied to M&A. Despite Wall Street bemoaning a decline in merger and acquisition activity in 2022, the Midwest Middle-Market continued to flourish in 2022 – dipping just a tad below the record-breaking levels of 2021 and recognizing a slow start to the first half of 2023. The Midwest M&A Trends Report identifies a continued interest in acquiring solid Midwestern companies in a range of industries that has remained fairly steady over the last 10-years, peaking in 2021. The report takes a look at the hot beds of activity from a regional perspective, as well as which industries have seen a spike in transactions. Business owners and professionals may be surprised by the shifts in the types of acquirers and the impact from coastal Private Equity firms. All business owners and the professionals that serve them will gain insight that could help to shape strategies for the business and provide some advantage to those making growth or exit plans. Don’t miss out; here is your complimentary copy: Midwestern M&A Trends Report.
