In the latest offering out of MDM Research, our fourth quarter M&A and MarketPulse reports are now published — available to download and purchase.

4Q24 M&A Report: See the latest EBITDA trading multiples for 30 top industrial distributors along with our top M&A articles from 4Q24, including our analysis of 2024’s dealmaking activity; discussion on private equity’s role in distribution M&A; and analysis of QXO-Beacon and Applied-Hydradyne.

4Q24 MarketPulse Report: This is packed with the results of our quarterly Baird-MDM Industrial Distribution Survey, which polled approximately 400 respondents — mostly distributors — in early January for metrics on their 4Q revenue performance; expectations for 1Q25 and the rest of the year; pricing movement; and their commentary on current demand levels. The report provides an in-depth snapshot of demand analytics and insights within different industry verticals.

Premium members get complimentary access to both reports from their Premium dashboard. And remember, members of the National Association of Wholesaler-Distributors receive complimentary Premium access upon activation here.

Meanwhile, non-Premium readers can still purchase them from the MDM Store.
