NEW HAVEN, Conn. and LONDON, Jan. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- WinStar, the dedicated research arm of Winchester Capital, has released its 2024 Insight, calling for a recovery in global M&A markets beginning in the United States with the tide turning in the UK and the European Union later in the year. "The inflation storm with the thunder of high-interest rates which resulted in depressed merger and acquisition activity will soon pass," commented Ceasar N. Anquillare, JP, Co-Founder and Chairman of Winchester Capital and WinStar. "The difference between the US and Europe is that we have sustained a return to pre-COVID levels in capital markets while Europe may take a little longer. Potential lower financing costs in 2024 will strengthen merger & acquisition activity and give buoyancy to the market."

According to the WinStar Insight, M&A globally decreased 22.6% in value from $4.07tr in 2022 to $3.15tr in 2023, with a further decline in volume of 11.6% to 88,219 transactions globally. "The M&A market was adversely impacted by sharp interest rate hikes to curb inflation, amplified through ongoing conflicts in the Ukraine and Israel. Dr. David Bowen, Co-Founder and Managing Director of WinStar, commented, "Despite interest rate risk and political turmoil, the S&P 500 closed the year at a near-record high of 4,769.83 and demonstrated the true resiliency in the underlying US economy."

WinStar is forecasting:

  • A rebound of 27% in global M&A for 2024 in the key geographical markets of North America, Asia and Europe.
  • Certain industries are also targeted for quicker recovery, particularly technology, healthcare and industrials.
  • Growth in U.S. capital markets is forecasted to increase between 8-12% in 2024.
  • Further growth in private equity Capital fundraising above the $555 billion raised in 2023 and record dry powder in private equity houses of $2.5 trillion, which WinStar believes to be the hallmarks of a recovery year.
