As mergers and acquisitions regain momentum in 2024, Huntington National Bank EVP & Executive Managing Director of Credit Products Karen Davies joins Yahoo Finance Live to discuss why she believes "the deal flow is picking up."
Davies notes that the M&A landscape has been "sleepy" for the past two years. However, she expresses confidence that the impending Federal Reserve rate cuts will "bring capital back to the market," prompting an upswing in M&A activity. She points to the deal-making already witnessed in the first quarter, often "large deals", indicating "confidence in the market."
While acknowledging that the approaching election could "certainly swing things one way or the other" from a political standpoint, Davies emphasizes the pent-up demand in the M&A space, suggesting that "the window is opening for them."
