Unstoppable M&A Momentum: Week of Billion-Dollar Deals Unveiled
The mergers and acquisitions landscape continues to surge in July 2025. This week alone, several significant deals, each worth over $2 billion, were announced. This indicates a robust corporate confidence and strategic repositioning across various industries.
Among the noteworthy transactions were:
- SS&C Technologies’ $1.03 billion acquisition of Calastone, announced on July 21
- Huntington’s nearly $2 billion acquisition of a Texas bank on July 19
- The acquisition of Phoenix real estate firm Fundamental Income Properties for $2.2 billion on July 18, showcasing the continued investor interest in real estate assets
These activities echo the broader trends in the M&A market, where technology, healthcare, and financial services sectors are spearheading consolidation efforts. An analysis by EY reveals that the US M&A deal value saw a 6.4% increase in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the first. This was largely due to 12 deals, each valued at more than $10 billion, contributing to a total deal value of $198 billion in Q2.
