Middle-market deals spark a revival in private equity
Our latest US PE Middle Market Report highlights that buyout dealmaking has gained traction in the first half of 2024, with middle-market deal value rising 12%, versus about 5% for the broader PE market.
The report also covers a change in key PE metrics that bodes well for better times ahead. After a historic rally, small-cap public equities have closed the gap on large-cap companies, and deal multiples for middle-market companies are on the rebound.
