Report – June 2026 edition

The Mid-Market Multiple Report

What companies actually sell for: the size premium, the sector spread, and what moves a multiple.

In preparation

The Macro Read for Owners

Rates, capital, and currencies, translated into what they actually mean for a company changing hands.

In preparation

AI and the Mid-Market Premium

Where AI genuinely changes what a buyer underwrites, and where it is a press release.

Why we publish

Data first, opinion earned.

Most market commentary is written to fill a calendar. Ours is written when something genuinely matters to the people who own and buy companies: deal markets, AI, capital, the macro forces underneath them. It carries the same discipline as our advice: published sources, no invented numbers, and the candor to say what the figures do not support.

Each report is refreshed as new prints are published, so what you read here is current, not archival.
