, /PRNewswire/ -- SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: SSNC) today announced Q1 2025 global and regional predictions from the SS&C Intralinks Deal Flow Predictor, a quarterly publication of future mergers and acquisitions (M&A) announcements. "The global mergers and acquisitions (M&A) market continues to navigate a landscape shaped by persistent economic challenges and opportunities," said Bob Petrocchi, co-head of SS&C Intralinks. "With the U.S. elections in the rearview mirror and dealmakers now adapted to market conditions, our proprietary data signals a resilient and somewhat resurgent 2025 outlook. The market is optimistic about continued equity market recovery, further normalization of interest rates and private equity maintaining its current pace." Regional market forecasts for Q1 2025 M&A activity: Globally, M&A deal flow is expected to grow 2-12% above Q4 2024, in line with conditions seen a year ago. Asia Pacific markets are likely to show moderate growth, building on 2024's recovery. Early-stage deal flow in Hong Kong, India and Japan remains positive, while Mainland China and South Korea are expected to see mixed results. Europe, the Middle East and Africa are showing signs of solid growth. France, Germany and Spain all recorded strong early-stage activity, and some Middle Eastern markets are also seeing increases. Latin America is a region to watch, with potential for continued positive momentum in Mexico and Colombia. Signs of optimism are also emerging in Brazil. North America is expected to show deal volume growth of 2-5% in Q1 2025.
