Episode 405: Bank M&A market update

This episode provides an update on the bank M&A market for the first half of 2025. We examine three articles from S&P Global Market Intelligence (subscription required) and we review a blog post from PCBB titled “Stats show 2025 is M&A’s year, but what’s helping deals succeed.” Bank M&A was quiet for most of 2024 and then picked up toward the end of the year. 2025 is off to a slow start but there is optimism that deal volume will pick up. A link to the PCBB blog post is included below.
