2026 M&A Summit - San Francisco

M&A, Divestitures, and the Future of Portfolio Strategy

The rules of dealmaking are changing.

As technology reshapes industries, geopolitical uncertainty persists, and market conditions continue to shift, leaders are rethinking how they approach growth, capital allocation, and portfolio strategy. Companies are making tougher decisions about what to build, what to buy, and what to exit, with divestitures playing a more deliberate role in freeing up capital, managing risk, and sharpening strategic focus.

At the same time, the deal process itself is evolving. New technologies are influencing how opportunities are identified and evaluated, while shareholder expectations, regulatory scrutiny, and geopolitical considerations are affecting how transactions are structured, communicated, and executed. 

How are these forces changing the way companies evaluate opportunities, deploy capital, and create value through acquisitions, divestitures, and portfolio transformation?
