Despite economic and geopolitical challenges, Q1-24 brought optimism to TMT M&A, with data showing broad increases in both volume and value.

The resurgence of some mega deals in Q1-24 reflects a strong recovery trend, buoyed by increasing confidence among dealmakers amidst financial market recovery and more stability. Major tailwinds also offer opportunities in growth sectors such as datacentres, AI and software.

Testimonials

 

"TMT Finance is a very rare one stop shop for intelligence in our core areas; it gives us clarity and visibility on why company x wants to buy company y, and which business are coming to market.

This provides a great market check on our thinking and a tool to evaluate processes we missed out on. We have quite a few providers – but none are quite like you.

Previous subscriptions in the datacentre space were missing the transaction-focused element, so we dropped them as you have us covered."
