La decimocuarta encuesta anual de Citizens Bank a más de 400 ejecutivos de alto nivel del mercado medio y directivos de capital riesgo de Estados Unidos afirma que un entorno económico favorable es una razón clave por la que las empresas y los inversores buscarán estrategias de fusiones y adquisiciones en 2025. Además, las incertidumbres de los últimos años han remitido, y se prevé que las valoraciones se mantengan estables o sean superiores a las de años anteriores. Mientras tanto, las empresas medianas más pequeñas están adoptando un enfoque más reservado, y muchos vendedores optan por vender una parte de su negocio frente a una venta completa. En resumen, los responsables de la toma de decisiones encuestados esperan que en 2025 se produzca un crecimiento económico y un mayor índice de operaciones de fusión y adquisición.
