It's about to be 'a perfect storm' for media dealmaking

^{Published on 2024-12-28 23:24:06 - AOL}

2024 saw crimped deal volumes as interest rates remained elevated and an unfavorable regulatory environment dampened sentiment. But 2025 has "the recipe for all the stars to be aligned," according to Bart Spiegel, partner of global entertainment and media deals at PwC.

The article from AOL Finance discusses a surge in media dealmaking, driven by a combination of factors creating a "perfect storm" for transactions in the media industry. Key points include the influence of streaming wars, where companies are aggressively acquiring content to bolster their platforms; the impact of the global health crisis, which has accelerated digital transformation and content consumption; and the financial environment, with low interest rates making borrowing for acquisitions more attractive. Additionally, there's a noted trend of consolidation as companies seek scale to compete effectively, alongside strategic divestitures to focus on core competencies. The article highlights several high-profile deals, including AT&T's spin-off of WarnerMedia to merge with Discovery, and Amazon's acquisition of MGM, illustrating how companies are positioning themselves in a rapidly evolving media landscape.
