This is because of the persistent volatile macro-economic climate, which includes the issue of inflation, the Russian/ Ukraine conflict, with all of them causing rising interest rates. These all directly impact the M&A industry.

The Implications Of An Industry Goliath Split Like Atos’

Since 2021, Atos – one of the world’s largest TMT (Technology, Media, and Telecom) companies – has lost three-quarters of its stock market value, after ten years of fast-paced acquisitions.
