Given the uncertainty of debt markets and a lingering hangover from the soaring multiples that headlined the 2021-2022 mergers and acquisition (M&A) craze in the U.S., it’s no surprise—or secret—that private equity (PE) investors and their portfolio companies have been engaging in a months-long holding pattern.
