      Supporting M&A transactions

      Australia’s mid-market M&A sector is entering 2026 with renewed energy and confidence. After a period of adjustment, we’re seeing both financial sponsors and strategic buyers actively pursuing new opportunities.

      Deal volumes in 2025 have signalled a clear return of confidence, and we expect deal values to follow as competition for quality assets intensifies.

      While we remain mindful of global economic and regulatory headwinds, the overall sentiment is one of cautious optimism. For companies considering a transaction, the message is clear: opportunities abound, valuation multiples are reasonable, and firms with strong fundamentals or unique offerings are in high demand. If current trends continue, 2026 could be a standout year for Australian mid-market deals, driving growth and transformation across industries.

      KPMG’s M&A track record highlights our team’s experience and the market’s confidence in our ability to deliver outstanding outcomes.

      We outline some of our recent successful deals.
