U.S. Private Water: Key Trends, M&A Activity, and Market Outlook, Q2 2024
Bluefield recorded 21 approved deals during Q1 2024, marking the fewest deals approved in a quarter since 2019. High interest rates and inflation over the past two years have produced a shrinking pipeline of M&A applications among investor-owned utilities. With 105 applications currently in the works, 32% fewer applications are pending than at this time last year.
