Private Equity Deal Flow & Strategy

The competitive environment for technology dealmaking is intensifying, as Bain & Co. advised that investors must brace for increased competition and a greater frequency of partial exits from portfolio companies. This trend contrasts with sustained activity in infrastructure, where Partners Group further invested equity into its North Star unit to acquire four offshore wind Service Operation Vessels from Edda Wind. Separately, high-growth software valuations remain attractive, evidenced by legal tech unicorn Legora extending its Series D funding to $600 million, securing backing from Nvidia. Meanwhile, large-cap buyouts face hurdles, with both KKR's and Energy Capital Partners' joint offer for DCC being rejected.
