Momentum is Returning: Monomoy’s 1H 2026 Business Development Update

Momentum is returning to the middle market, but transaction certainty continues to vary across sectors and company sizes.

Monomoy Capital Partners is pleased to release the sixth edition of its Business Development Update, a biannual report built exclusively from insights generated by Beacon, Monomoy’s proprietary deal sourcing engine. The report analyzes middle-market M&A activity during the first half of 2026, examining market conditions, transaction trends and the outlook for the months ahead.

DATA INSIGHTS

Our report explores how deal flow evolved across ownership types, industries and EBITDA ranges, while also providing an in-depth look at broken-auction trends and Monomoy’s forward-looking Deal Compass. Together, these insights offer a data-driven perspective on where transaction activity is accelerating, where buyers remain selective and how the market is evolving heading into the second half of the year.
