• Global 1H sell-side kickoffs dipped 10% below the same period as last year. However, they are only 2% below where kickoffs stood during the same period in 2021, a blockbuster M&A year.
• North Am deal starts were the most sluggish, followed by EMEA. APAC and Lat Am are up.
• Industrials and healthcare kickoffs surged in June, signaling renewed vigor in those sectors.
