Carter Morse & Goodrich’s Managing Partner, Ramsey Goodrich, was recently featured in Mergers and Acquisitions – themiddlemarket.com article on mid-market M&A activity in early 2026, discussing how ongoing uncertainty continues to impact deal flow and valuation expectations across the middle market.
While many anticipated a stronger start to 2026, that market seems still to be on ‘pause’ waiting for more clarity on the future, but the market continues to reward well-prepared businesses with clear positioning, strong fundamentals, and realistic expectations.
At Carter Morse & Goodrich, we continue to work closely with founder- and family-led businesses to help them navigate their once-in-a-lifetime transaction within today’s evolving M&A landscape.
