LONDON, April 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- M&A transactions of $10 billion or more have hit an all-time record in the first three months of 2026, according to research on completed deals from WTW’s Quarterly Deal Performance Monitor (QDPM). A total of 12 mega deals closed in the first quarter of 2026, the highest figure for any quarter since 2008. In contrast, only two such deals were completed in the prior three months. The higher share of transactions exceeding $10 billion also propelled the value of completed deals in the first quarter of 2026 to a five-year high of $438 billion – a dramatic jump of 155% compared to the same period in 2025. In the first quarter of 2026, 56 large deals (valued over $1 billion) were completed, marginally higher than the previous quarter and an increase from 40 deals in the first three months of 2025. Run in partnership with the M&A Research Centre at Bayes Business School, the data also shows that a total of 215 deals valued over $100 million
