S&W to acquire Irish accountancy firm Beechwood Partners
S&W has signed an agreement to acquire Beechwood Partners, a Dublin-based firm that has been operating since 2005 and offers accountancy and tax advisory services to private clients and their related corporate entities. As per the terms of the deal, 35 employees and partners from Beechwood Partners integrate into S&W's operations in Ireland, which currently has a workforce of more than 80 at its Sandyford location. This transaction represents S&W's inaugural acquisition as an independent entity following its establishment as a professional services group in March 2025, with support from Apax Partners. With origins tracing back to Smith & Williamson, founded in 1881, S&W employs more than 1,850 individuals and has in excess of 120 partners across the UK and Ireland. The firm provides a variety of services in the accountancy mid-market, including corporate tax advice, assurance, business services, and a range of advisory and digital solutions encompassing recovery and restructuring, transaction services, and forensic advice. S&W CEO Andrew Wilkes said: 'I'm delighted to welcome the team from Beechwood Partners to S&W in our first acquisition as a stand-alone group as we play out our drive to accelerate growth. 'Beechwood Partners is a highly respected business that shares our partner-led approach of developing long-standing relationships with clients and adding meaningful value. 'This deal strengthens our position in Ireland and forms part of our growth strategy of acquiring high-quality accountancy firms with complementary expertise.' The acquisition of Beechwood Partners will allow S&W to expand its offerings in private client tax solutions in Ireland, as well as enhance its business outsourcing and business tax services. Beechwood Partners partner Weston Allen said: 'Having grown Beechwood Partners as a successful independent business over the past 20 years, the timing is right to pursue an exciting next chapter by partnering with a large, well-established firm. 'Having considered a number of options, S&W has given us every confidence that this deal will empower us with the necessary infrastructure and support to improve and expand our service offerings while continuing to grow our business and service our clients' needs.'

Bargains are scarce for investors in this market
Sky-high valuations may have started as a Big Tech problem, but it's getting harder to find undervalued opportunities in an increasingly expensive stock market. Why it matters: Investors with concerns about froth are looking to rotate out of expensive corners of the market. They may not find much. What they're saying: Markets are "starting to run out of room," Lori Calvasina, the head of U.S. equity strategy at RBC Capital Markets, tells Axios. "Those nooks and crannies (investors) can go to kind of suck out the remaining valuation opportunity, it just seems like that's starting to dry up." Driving the news: The Dow Jones Industrial Average hit its first record high of 2025 driven in part by UnitedHealth. On the news that Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway had taken a stake, the battered shares of UnitedHealth rallied on Friday and Monday before retreating yesterday. Its bounce back highlights the recent move into stocks that had appeared oversold. Indeed, investors have been piling into formerly forlorn sectors, like health care, consumer discretionary and materials. Such a trading strategy, known as a rotation, comes as valuations for both the biggest market cap names and the S&P 500 on a market cap basis are closing in on past highs, according to RBC. Zoom in: Yet it's not just Big Tech that has gotten expensive, Calvasina says. Even small-cap valuations are "getting elevated," though they are not at the "tip-top" of froth just yet, she notes. Equal-weighted S&P 500 valuations are getting close to peaks on a market cap basis as well. Price-to-earnings ratios on the Russell 2000 and the equal-weighted S&P don't leave "a ton of room" for the rotation trade going forward, she says. What we're watching: A market that toppy could fall over at the slightest gust of wind. That catalyst could come in the form of: Fewer rate cuts than the market is expecting. Tariffs putting broader pressure on earnings. Cracks showing up in the labor market. Inflation that stays higher for longer. Yes, but: Any one of those challenges could simply cause a garden-variety pullback of 5% to 10%, which arguably would be healthy. Still, coming into those headwinds at such high valuations leaves investors at a higher risk.

Wall Street faces an AI reality check from Meta
Meta stock fell this week on reports of the company looking at downsizing its artificial intelligence division. Why it matters: This is a warning to investors, notably those enthusiastic about the AI revolution: The spending spigot can shut off at a moment's notice. Driving the news: Meta's AI division will undergo a reorganization, per the New York Times. The Information earlier reported a planned restructuring. Some AI executives are expected to leave Meta. The stock also had its worst two-day drop since the market volatility in April. The information technology sector fell 1.75% on Tuesday. Between the lines: This is what Wall Street fears most: a pullback in AI spending from the companies propping up the entire stock market. By the numbers: The top 10 companies in the S&P 500, which account for nearly 40% of the index based on market cap, are each other's customers. Meta, Microsoft, Alphabet and Amazon are expected to spend $400 billion on AI next year. That capital expenditure translates to sales for other tech giants, ranging from Nvidia to Broadcom. Because the biggest tech companies in the S&P 500 are each other's biggest customers, a pullback in spending by one could weigh on earnings across the group. What they're saying:"Whenever you see these huge capex booms, there's so much demand for it, there's so much money to be made, almost inevitably, you overbuild," says Trevor Slaven, the global head of asset allocation at Barings, with more than $400 billion in assets under management. Big Tech firms contribute "essentially the same amount of GDP growth as the entire consumer base, which is just unprecedented," he tells Axios. He likes equities in the near term, but is looking for opportunities to trim risk for the fourth quarter while adding exposure to private portfolios. Be smart: The Meta news comes at a time when stocks are already hovering near all-time highs and investors are anxiously anticipating news about any interest rate cuts that could come from the Federal Reserve.
