Are Deals Back? IPOs, M&A Recover After 'Liberation Day' Blip

Deal activity appears to be picking up as investors ride the AI wave and markets hit record highs, helping 2025 look like a strong year for IPOs and M&A. U.S. IPO and M&A volumes in the first half of 2025 have hit the highest levels since 2021, which was itself a record year for deals, according to Dealogic. Read on for the prevailing trends in deals this year—and lists of the top IPOs and M&A of 2025 so a while, it looked like the boom in deal activity that was expected after President Donald Trump retook the White House wouldn't happen. Companies pulled IPOs as the Liberation Day tariffs hit sentiment, while others put acquisition plans on hold. Deals, in short, dried up. But that seems to be changing. Deal activity is picking up for a host of reasons, experts say, among them Trump's retreat from some of his harsher tariff plans and increasing investor expectations that trade deals will be struck or tariffs at least kept at their baseline levels. Add to that a relatively resilient U.S. economy and record-high stock markets and you get a recipe for rising deal volume. IPO and M&A volumes are at their highest levels in years, according to Dealogic data, after years when high interest rates put a damper on things. In the first half of 2025, 174 companies raised more than $31 billion from U.S. IPOs, the most since 2021, when a record $200 billion of funds were raised in the same year-to-date period. U.S. M&A volume so far this year has already topped $989 billion, the highest level since 2021's record year, when there were $1.56 trillion in deals in the same period. Trump's Liberation Day tariffs hit stock markets and led companies like Swedish fintech Klarna to pause plans for IPOs. That's changing as investors are piling into tech and fintech firms, and investors are eyeing the possibility of interest-rate cuts in the second half that could keep stocks rising. CoreWeave (CRWV), a cloud computing company backed by Nvidia (NVDA), has since seen its shares more than triple since its March listing. USDC stable coin issuer Circle Internet Group (CRCL) was among June's IPO stars, benefiting from the increasing popularity of crytocurrencies and bitcoin; Israel-based retail trading platform eToro (ETOR) and space and defense tech firm Voyager Technologies (VOYG) were also among June's star listings. Circle and CoreWeave "in particular have been outstanding performers and a big driver of investor interest," said Dealogic's Global ECM Head Samuel Kerr said. The pipeline of new deals is now building up again: In early July, design software maker Figma filed for an IPO. Here are 2025's top five US IPOs ranked by funds raised, according to Dealogic. LNG exporter Venture Global (VG) raised $1.75 billion from its January IPO, the most by a listing so far this year in the U.S. and the most since Lineage's $5.1 billion listing in July last year. Unlike some more recent tech IPOs, its shares have lagged below their listing price. CoreWeave (CRWV), a cloud computing company backed by Nvidia (NVDA), raised $1.57 billion from its listing on the Nasdaq in March. It had a tepid debut, but has since become one of this year's stars, trading more than three times above its $40 IPO price. SailPoint, a Texas-based cybersecurity company that private equity firm Thoma Bravo took private in 2022, made its return to public markets in February, raising $1.38 billion from its listing. Its shares continue to lag its $23 IPO price. Crypto firm Circle Internet Group (CRCL) has been one of this year's IPO stars, raising $1.21 billion from its IPO priced at $31 a share in June; the stablecoin issuer's stock is now around $189. The fifth-biggest IPO this year was the $994 million June offer by fintech firm Chime Financial. Its shares remain above their $27 IPO price. M&A volumes, which like IPOs took a hit this year, have been helped by enthusiasm for companies linked to artificial intelligence. 'Although March brought a burst of large-cap deals, optimism faded in April after 'Liberation Day' tariffs sent shockwaves through the market," Mergermarket Head Lucinda Guthrie said. "Still, the opportunities presented by the volatility in the public markets drew attention from private capital. A key deal driver in 1H25 has been M&A to fuel the evolving AI landscape. " Here are the top M&A deals so far this year in the U.S, according to Dealogic, ranked by deal size, with No. 1, the funding round into ChatGPT maker OpenAI— illustrating the allure of AI investments. (All the deal volumes are excluding debt.) The ChatGPT maker raised $40 billion in new funding from a group of investors who took a 13.3% stake in a round led by SoftBank Group. Other investors included its biggest backer, Microsoft (MSFT). Google parent Alphabet (GOOGL) struck a $32 billion cash deal for cybersecurity startup Wiz in March that would be the tech giant's largest acquisition ever. The deal hasn't closed yet. In June, Swiss building-materials company Holcim spun off its North American operations in a $28.7 billion deal. The Chicago-based cement and roofing provider started trading under the stock symbol (AMRZ). Charter Communications (CHTR) announced a $24.1 billion deal in May to buy privately held rival Cox Communications in a deal that would combine two of the U.S.'s largest cable providers. The deal has yet to close. Nuclear power producer Constellation Energy (CEG) agreed to buy private energy company Calpine for $17 billion excluding debt, a transaction that would create the largest clean energy provider in the U.S. The combined company would serve the AI boom, feeding the growing power needs of data centers.

AI Creating 7 In-Demand Careers That Can Future-Proof Your Job By 2030

Experts are emphasizing a new trend from AI creating job loss to AI creating new jobs and the seven ... More in-demand careers automation will invent by 2030. Are you training for an outdated job? If so, AI could replace it, and you might be unemployed by 2030. Headlines continue to warn of AI eliminating millions of positions, like Microsoft's recent layoff of 9,000 employees. But a quieter trend is brewing with a shift from emphasizing job loss to job creation. Experts recommend that you focus, not on what AI is replacing, but on what AI is quietly inventing: seven of the weirdest, most in-demand careers of the next decade. With AI creating 7 in-demand careers, some are already hiring for these positions. AI Creating 7 In-Demand Careers By 2030 The fast growth of AI has threatened the workforce for years. According to Gallup, 22% of U.S. workers are worried they will lose their jobs to generative AI—a seven percent increase since 2021. And experts have reported ways to outsmart AI those threats and future-proof your career. Much of the public debate around AI focuses on job displacement. McKinsey estimates that AI could displace up to 800 million workers by 2030. But the study also points out that AI isn't just eliminating roles. It's inventing new ones. It predicts that AI will create more jobs than it eliminates, especially in fields where technology is used to augment human capability rather than replace it. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, said in a recent interview that we are heading toward a complete redefinition of work. He predicted a surge in demand for roles focused on AI supervision, creativity and problem-solving. Ford CEO Jim Farley also warns that AI could wipe out half of all white-collar jobs. But he adds that this will also create entirely new types of employment focused on human-machine collaboration. 'We're watching an evolution, not an extinction,' says Gavin Yi, CEO of Yijin Hardware, a global leader in precision CNC manufacturing. 'AI is changing what humans do, not eliminating the need for them. The future workforce will be more hybrid, combining machine intelligence with human judgment.' It's important to stay apprised of the new jobs that are opening up, instead of thinking about the old jobs that are being eliminated. Yi identifies seven new jobs that AI will invent by 2030. 1. Prompt Engineer. "Prompt engineering is to AI what coding was to the early days of the internet,' Yi explains. He says this role involves crafting highly specific prompts to guide AI tools like ChatGPT. Prompt engineers mix of logic, language and creativity, and fields like tech, law and education are already hiring prompt engineers. 2. AI Ethics Officer. Yi points out that AI touches everything from credit scoring to criminal justice. 'Ethics officers will help companies develop guidelines to ensure fairness, transparency and compliance with global regulations,' he states. 3. AI-Assisted Healthcare Technician. 'As AI begins to assist with diagnostics, medical imaging and treatment planning, technicians who can operate these systems and work with patients will become essential,' according to Yi. 4. AI Maintenance Specialist. Even though factories and logistics hubs are investing in intelligent machines, Yi points out that those machines still need human oversight. He describes them as specialists who understand both mechanical systems and AI behavior will be vital. 'The factory worker of tomorrow won't just hold a wrench,' Yi notes. "They'll monitor dashboards and algorithms too.' 5. Sustainable AI Analyst. Yi says that AI consumes enormous energy, adding that it can also be used to reduce emissions and waste. He describes analysts in this role will work to ensure AI is used efficiently and contributes to sustainability goals. 6. AI-Enhanced Creative Director. 'From fashion to film, creative leaders who can integrate AI into their workflows will be able to experiment at scale,' Yi stresses. 'These directors will act as curators, combining intuition with machine-generated content.' 7. AI Literacy Educator. Yi reminds us that professionals will be needed to train others on how to use AI effectively and ethically, now that it's embedded in everything from office tools to customer service. He believes that this includes schools, governments and private companies. A Final Takeaway On AI Creating 7 In-Demand Careers Instead of training for disappearing jobs, experts agree that it's more prudent to look forward, making sure you develop the skills for the new jobs in the next five years. If you're a student or one of today's workers, Yi says the worst mistake you can make is preparing for a job that won't exist in five years. 'In 2010, nobody trained to be a social media manager. By 2020, it was a core role in nearly every company,' he points out. 'In 2025, we're already seeing new jobs emerge. The smartest thing anyone can do is pay attention to where AI is creating opportunity, not just where it's causing fear.' Yi's comments drive home the importance of paying attention to the new trend of AI creating 7 new fields that can future-proof your career by 2030. He recommends focusing on skills that can't be easily automated. Problem-solving, adaptability, communication and a basic understanding of how AI systems work are likely to remain relevant across sectors. 'AI won't kill jobs,' Yi concludes. 'But it will make some jobs feel obsolete." People who learn how to work with AI instead of against it will come out ahead as the trend of AI creating 7 in-demand careers will continue into the future.
