For investors, executives, and capital markets professionals — this New to The Street interview features Frank Aquila, Senior M&A Partner at Sullivan & Cromwell, sharing insights into the forces shaping global M&A activity as markets move into 2026. Aquila describes 2025 as a “tale of two halves,” with a cautious start followed by one of the strongest six-month periods for mergers and acquisitions on record, driven largely by strategically critical megadeals.
The conversation explores how realistic pricing expectations, AI-driven consolidation, contingent value rights, and deal certainty now define successful transactions. Aquila explains why boards and executives must prioritize financing certainty, regulatory readiness, and day-one integration planning to ensure deals create long-term value rather than short-term hype—trends he expects to continue throughout 2026.
