WINDSOR,
Conn., Oct. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- SS&C
Technologies Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: SSNC) today announced Q4 2024
global and regional predictions from the SS&C Intralinks
Deal Flow Predictor, a quarterly publication of future
mergers and acquisitions (M&A) announcements.
"As we move into the last quarter of 2024, the M&A
market continues to grapple with interest rates, persistent
geopolitical uncertainties and shifting policies across major
economies," said Ken Bisconti,
Co-Head of SS&C Intralinks. "Despite these ongoing challenges,
dealmakers are optimistic about strategic growth opportunities. We
are expecting to see double-digit increases in deal flow based on
pre-announced deal volumes across all four geographies we
track."
Regional market forecasts for Q4 2024
M&A activity:
- Globally, M&A deal flow is expected to grow
5-10% above Q3 2024 and Q4 2023 announced volume.
- Asia Pacific markets
remain stable, with an upward growth trajectory. Mainland
China, Hong Kong and India are likely to experience sustained
growth.
- Europe, the Middle
East and Africa are experiencing some of the best
performance of all regions, showing double-digit growth on a
quarterly and annual basis. France, Germany and the U.K. show especially strong
growth.
- Latin America continues
to show stable performance. Economic and political uncertainly
continue to affect growth across the region. Mexico and Colombia show promising levels of activity,
while Brazil appears to see
activity cooling.
- North America's
pre-announced deal volume steadily climbed over the first half of
the year, trailing off in June. Canada saw impressive growth on a QoQY basis,
and early-stage volumes in the U.S. stayed strong. The positive
impact of interest rate cuts, coupled with uncertainty around the
U.S. election, invite cautious optimism on deal activity through
the end of the year.

Predictor forecasts the number of future M&A
announcements by tracking early-stage M&A activity on the
Intralinks platform from the previous four quarters, defined as new
sell-side M&A transactions that are in preparation or have
begun their due diligence stage. On average, early-stage deals are
six months away from public announcement.
