Dry Powder: The Private Equity Podcast
Bain has just released its 2025 Midyear Private Equity Report, and as I was reflecting on our report, I was trying to think of a word that might describe how the first half of the year has gone. I think the word for the industry, and buyouts in particular, is “poised.” Now, there's a question that comes with that word: poised for what?
Are we poised for more of the same, which is a continuing slowdown, or are we poised for a vigorous return to dealmaking, the likes of which we started to see in the back half of 2024? Today on the show, I'll share the key insights from Bain's 2025 Midyear Private Equity Report.
