Growing optimism for M&A under a Trump administration

  • A Trump White House could impact the M&A environment in various sectors
  • There is growing optimism that a Trump election would open the floodgate on M&A
  • Tech M&A deals could have an easier passage under a possible Trump administration
  • Vance’s impact on the financial sector and his support for cryptocurrency
  • Possible impact on international trade policy, particularly with China and Mexico

A potential victory for the Donald Trump/J.D. Vance ticket in November could have an impact on the M&A environment, according to Raymond James. There is growing optimism that a Trump election would open the floodgate on M&A, particularly in the financials, energy, and smaller deals sectors. However, larger tech deals are likely to face significant scrutiny. Vance’s selection as running mate could lead to a friendlier environment for tech M&A deals, as he has been critical of large tech companies and their legal protections. The impact on international trade policy is also attracting attention, with a possible aggressive trade policy towards China and Mexico. Vance’s support for the U.S. auto and steel industry and his promotion of legislation to clarify the federal regulatory jurisdiction of digital assets are also notable. Overall, a Trump White House could have significant implications for M&A and trade policy.·
