G\u00f3mez-Acebo & Pombo has partnered with Mergermarket to produce the report \u201cSpain in the spotlight: Spanish M&A and PE activity in HY 2025\u201d<\/em>, a study that tracks developments in the Spanish M&A market during the first half of 2025.<\/h4>\n\n\n\nThe report reviews deal activity against an international backdrop of geopolitical and economic uncertainty, with a particular focus on private investment and the role of private equity funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Among its key findings, it identifies the sectors set to shape the market in the coming months\u2014such as TMT, consumer and energy\u2014and highlights drivers including available liquidity and the growing emphasis on the energy transition, illustrated by transactions such as Naturgy\u2019s share buy-back and Multiply Group\u2019s acquisition of a 68% stake in Castellano Investments, owner of Tendam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This edition features contributions from our partners \u00c1lvaro Mateo, Pablo Fern\u00e1ndez Cortijo and David Gonz\u00e1lez, who share their expert views on current dynamics and market opportunities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- \u201cWe\u2019ve seen some transactions driven by distress, particularly in sectors suffering with inflationary costs or trends such as the shift to online platforms.\u201d<\/em> \u2014 \u00c1lvaro Mateo<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- \u201cPerceptions of continuation funds in Europe have changed.\u201d<\/em> \u2014 Pablo Fern\u00e1ndez Cortijo<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- \u201cThe first quarter was pretty resilient, but April and May were extremely slow: it\u2019s difficult to remember two such quiet months in years gone by.\u201d<\/em> \u2014 David Gonz\u00e1lez<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
