Recent Industry Reports

2024 capped off with a steady volume of M&A activity, with a total of 412 transactions. Deal volume in Q4 took a slight dip compared to previous quarters, with 104 transactions versus 113 in Q3. 

Human Capital Management continued to benefit from historically low unemployment rates and continued GDP growth. However, labor market trends remained challenging for much of the staffing and recruiting market as job openings and hiring levels have declined compared to recent historical experience. 

After posting a strong performance in our fall reporting period, the FOCUS Telecom Business Services Index (TBSI) plummeted nearly 16% over the past three months.
