Overview

Body

AI is reshaping the M&A landscape, influencing which businesses attract investment, how deals are valued, and whether transactions move forward. Join S&P Global Market Intelligence experts for a forward-looking discussion on the 2027 deal outlook and the strategies private equity firms and corporate acquirers can use to assess AI risk, identify opportunity, and capitalize on sector trends.

Our panel will discuss:

  • Key transaction trends shaping deal flow in 2027
  • The effects of AI innovation on M&A, valuations, and private equity holding periods
  • Which industries may fall within AI’s next “blast radius”—and where tailwinds could emerge
  • How banks are determining the proof of returns for AI-related investments and quantifying risks
  • How dealmakers can strengthen business moats and accelerate value creation in the coming year
