Global M&A hits $2.6 trillion peak year-to-date, boosted by AI and quest for growth

By Emma-Victoria Farr and Amy-Jo Crowley LONDON (Reuters) - Global dealmaking has reached $2.6 trillion, the highest for the first seven months of the year since the 2021 pandemic-era peak, as a quest for growth in corporate boardrooms and the impact of a surge in AI activity has overcome the uncertainty caused by U.S. tariffs. The number of transactions to August 1 is 16% lower than the same time last year, but their value is 28% higher, according to Dealogic data, boosted by U.S. megadeals valued at more than $10 billion. They include Union Pacific Corp's proposed $85 billion acquisition of small rival Norfolk Southern and OpenAI's $40 billion funding round led by Softbank Group. The upsurge will be a relief to bankers who began the year with expectations the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump would lead to a wave of consolidation. Instead, his trade tariffs and geopolitical uncertainty made companies pause until renewed confidence in corporate boardrooms and the U.S. administration's anti-trust agenda changed the mood. "What you're seeing in terms of deal rationale for transactions right now is that it's heavily growth-motivated, and it's increasing," Andre Veissid, EY Global Financial Services Strategy and Transactions Leader, told Reuters. "Whether it's artificial intelligence, the change in the regulatory environment, we see our clients not wanting to be left behind in that race and that's driving activity." Compared with August 2021, when investors, rebounding from pandemic lockdowns drove the value of deals to $3.57 trillion, this year's tally is nearly a $1 trillion, or 27%, lower. Still deal-makers at JPMorgan Chase JP Morgan Chase have said there is more to come, with companies pursuing bigger deals in the second half of the year as executives adapt to volatility. "People have got used to the prevailing uncertainty, or maybe the unpredictability post-U.S. election is just more predictable now," Simon Nicholls, co-head of Slaughter and May Corporate and M&A group, said. Nigel Wellings, Partner at Clifford Chance said the market was moving beyond tariffs. "Boardrooms are seeing the M&A opportunity of a more stable economic environment and positive regulatory signals. But it is not a frothy market." FROM HEALTH TO TECH While the healthcare sector drove M&A in the years after the pandemic, the computer and electronics industry has produced more takeover bids in the U.S. and the United Kingdom in the last two years, according to Dealogic. Artificial intelligence is expected to drive more dealmaking. M&A activity has increased around data centre usage, such as Samsung's $1.7 billion acquisition of Germany's FlaktGroup, a data centre cooling specialist. Palo Alto Networks $25 billion deal for Israeli cybersecurity peer CyberArk was the largest deal in Europe, Middle East and Africa so far this year as rising AI-driven threats push companies to adopt stronger defences. Private equity, which had been sitting on the sidelines, has once again been active, with Sycamore Partners' $10 billion deal to take private Walgreens Boots Alliance and a sweetened $6.4 billion offer from Advent for UK scientific instrument maker Spectris. The U.S. was the biggest market for M&A, accounting for more than half of the global activity. Asia Pacific's dealmaking doubled over the same year to date period last year, outpacing the EMEA region.

6 Unconventional Habits That Actually Help Entrepreneurs Find Work-Life Sanity

Tired of traditional work-life balance advice? Here are six unconventional strategies that help entrepreneurs prevent burnout, reclaim energy and align work with life in a way that actually works. Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Ask any high-performing entrepreneur about work-life balance and you'll likely get a scoff or a sigh. That elusive equilibrium sounds great on paper, but when you're scaling a business, managing a team, pitching investors or just trying to be present for your kids, it feels like a luxury you can't afford. The usual advice? Set boundaries. Log off by 6 p.m. Take breaks. It's well-meaning, but often disconnected from the pace and pressure of entrepreneurial life. What founders actually need isn't a stricter schedule — it's a smarter relationship with time, energy and identity. These six unconventional strategies move beyond feel-good tips. They're designed to help you sustain your ambition without burning out. 1. Schedule no-tech transitions Going straight from a pitch call to helping with homework is a fast track to cognitive whiplash. Instead of jumping instantly between roles, build in 20 to 30 minutes between work and personal zones with no screens, no Slack and no stimulation. Use that time to reset. Walk around the block, prep dinner slowly, stretch, write something by hand. These quiet transitions aren't wasted — they give your brain space to process, decompress and fully arrive in the next part of your day with clarity instead of leftover stress.

It's easy to conflate identity with output. But setting aside one hour during the workweek for something joyful and entirely unrelated to your company is more than just a creative outlet — it's a performance enhancer. Whether it's sketching, gardening, learning a few guitar chords or diving into a forgotten hobby, this time isn't a break from work. It's a reminder that you're a full person, not just a founder. That reconnection restores curiosity, creative energy and a broader sense of purpose. 3. Do an 80/20 energy audit Time management is helpful, but energy management is where real leverage lives. At the end of each week, list out the tasks you handled, then identify the 20% that produced 80% of your stress. Those are your emotional drains. Don't just accept them — eliminate, delegate or automate wherever possible. Founders grow fastest when they protect their energy from low-impact, high-friction work. When your calendar reflects your energy, not just your obligations, everything runs smoother. 4. Adopt work sprints and life sprints The idea of daily balance is a myth. A better approach is cyclical — periods of deep work followed by intentional recovery. That might mean two focused weeks of building followed by a long unplugged weekend. Or it could look like Monday through Wednesday sprints, followed by light Fridays and screen-free Sundays. Designing your week or month this way gives you permission to go all in, briefly, then pull back and recover. Like interval training for your calendar, it builds resilience and reduces the chronic strain of trying to sustain peak performance indefinitely. 5. Make space for strategic boredom We're conditioned to fear boredom, but it's often where your best ideas emerge. Deliberately leaving blocks of time unassigned creates mental margin for clarity, creativity and reflection. In a hyper-scheduled world, under-scheduling on purpose is a competitive advantage. Don't use every spare moment to catch up or fill in. Leave some of them empty and see what shows up. 6. Stop separating work and life. Start weaving them Trying to keep work and life in separate lanes sounds great in theory, but the rigidity can sometimes create more guilt than relief. A more flexible model is to weave them together with intention. This doesn't mean multitasking your way through everything. It means allowing thoughtful overlap where it eases stress. Answering emails during your kid's soccer practice might free you up to be more present later. Paying bills during a mid-afternoon slump might leave your evening open for rest. The goal is not to blur everything together, but to reduce the friction caused by artificial separation.

You're managing your energy, attention and identity. Your needs will change. Your pace will shift. But the more your schedule reflects who you actually are and what you value, not just what you need to get done, the more sustainable your success becomes. Founders don't need a perfect balance. They need alignment. These six strategies may not look like traditional productivity tips, but they can help you stay grounded, energized and present enough to enjoy the life you're working so hard to build.

New Mountain Considers $1 Billion Secondary Fund for Azuria Water

The plans could change, and New Mountain may sell a stake of Azuria to another firm, the people said.
