In Davos, Switzerland, on January 22, the executive president of buyout firm Ardian mentioned that private equity sales could bounce back significantly during Donald Trump's second term as president. Ardian's Mark Benedetti expressed at the World Economic Forum in Davos that many entities previously hesitant to sell their assets were now entering the market.

Benedetti anticipated an improvement in deal flow for mid-sized companies in the near future, moving towards pre-2021 exit levels rather than the peak seen in 2021. Last year's decline in deal activity in private equity led to a surge in transaction volumes.

Furthermore, Bejul Somaia from Lightspeed Venture Partners highlighted at the same panel that Trump's presidency had reinvigorated deals in the technology sector, contrasting with what he saw as subdued activity during the Biden administration. Somaia shared that two of their companies had recently signed high-value term sheets with US strategics, with another potential acquisition discussion underway.
