CDT Roundup: A Quiet End to a Busy Year

The week ending Jan. 3 — the day Larry David claims is the last day you can wish someone Happy New Year — had just two deals reported, with one of DFW’s favorite Tex-Mex chains acquiring one of DFW’s favorite Cajun spots through bankruptcy court and the announcement of an ATM offering by a Michigan energy company.

A year ago, the Roundup saw nine deals valued at a little more than $6.8 billion reported over the final few days of 2024 and first few days of 2025. But last year dealmakers were looking at the end of the Biden administration and an incoming administration aiming to end of some of its tax benefits.
