Q1 2026 Healthcare M&A Spotlight

April 17, 2026 | Insights

We expect Q2 deal activity to come in moderately above Q1 levels. We are noticing an uptick in process re-launches for transactions that stalled in the 2023-2025 window, and pitch activity continues to be elevated compared to last year. We should continue to see high multiples for good assets in in-demand sectors. This report explores broad M&A market trends and insights into Bailey & Company’s four main coverage areas: healthcare services, healthcare IT & tech-enabled services, payer services, and pharma services, life sciences & medtech.
