April 2024 Middle Market Monitor

The U.S. economy showed signs of stability in March. The unemployment rate remained steady and job growth was strong, particularly in healthcare, government, and construction. While consumer confidence about the future dipped slightly, inflation remained under control and public markets continued their upward trend. The global M&A market saw numerous large deals ($1B+) in the first quarter of 2024, but middle-market M&A deal volume dipped slightly month-over-month. Mirus is pleased to share our thoughts on recent market activity in the April 2024 Middle Market Monitor.
