Building Products
The tide is turning in building products M&A in 2024, offering investors attractive end-market dynamics after 18+ months of uncertainty. Though the adjustment to higher interest rates has taken time, the industry has found its footing given low levels of inventory for new residential construction, building deferred project activity for residential repair and remodel markets and continued GDP growth supporting nonresidential construction activity.

Tools
Continued reshoring of manufacturing has buoyed the tools industry due to increased demand for high-quality, locally produced equipment. This trend has sparked investments and innovation in tool manufacturing, facilitating sector growth. The growth of automation directly benefits the CNC world and high-precision manufacturing by enhancing production efficiency and achieving unparalleled accuracy in component fabrication.

Amidst recent periods of economic uncertainty, Lincoln observes businesses focusing efforts on operational efficiency, driving long-term sustainable growth and harnessing technological advancements – a positive sign for future M&A activity.
