In today’s global deal landscape, opportunity doesn’t stop at borders, but neither do the risks. For acquirers, the allure of international expansion is clear, but cross-border transactions can introduce additional layers of complexity that domestic deals rarely face. Due diligence has always been the linchpin of M&A success; in an international context, the process and methodology need even more care.
Reflecting on 2025, it is evident that the global M&A landscape was defined not by a return to pre-crisis stability but by a strategic adaptation to volatility. As activity accelerated in the second half of the year, a new consensus emerged among Translink Corporate Finance’s global partners: the “wait and see” era has officially come to an end. We have entered a period of “accepted risk,” where dealmakers are no longer pausing for headwinds to clear, but instead pricing these variables into their models to complete deals.
The global Logistics M&A market is undergoing a crucial phase of stabilisation in 2025, moving away from the post-pandemic volatility towards a more normalised and strategic environment. After a period of structural upheaval driven by inflation and supply chain disruptions, a new landscape is emerging, defined by valuation stability, a focus on resilience and the integration of critical technologies.
