This is a great description of the M&A market year-to-date. I look forward to seeing the update throughout May/June.
After the M&A market’s disappointing end to 2022, many predicted that the slowed deal activity would carry over to 2023 and that it would be another down year.

It was hard to imagine M&A deal volumes dropping lower than those at the end of 2022, but that is exactly what happened.
