CDT Roundup: No Fuel for Thought as M&A Skips Oil & Gas for Tech and Food

For the week ending June 21 — and for this, our 25th weekly report of 2025 — there were 16 deals submitted for a total reported value at just under $6 billion (or $5.984 billion for the more exacting). On the year that’s slightly above average in volume (14.9 deals per week for the first 24 weeks), and well below the average for reported value ($13.2 billion per week for those same 24).

We take nothing from that except to note that this most recent week was far better than the week prior, which recorded nine deals for $478 million, and stands remarkably similar to the 12 deals for $5.6 billion recorded at the summer solstice last year.
