Exits are back! The PitchBook 2024 Annual US PE Breakdown confirms that the hopes of Q3 have blossomed into Q4’s reality. Exits are up in value and count along with big IPOs, and deals—including classic platform buyouts—have surged. Fundraising continues to lag, but $1 trillion+ of dry powder can back a lot of deals. Our latest blog dives deeper into the state of private equity, focusing on: 🚪Exits, where values rose by almost 50% from 2023, driven by 16 IPOs that raised $40.6 billion. Counts also soared, but the current inventory—eight years’ worth at current rates— requires greater activity.  🤝 Deals, where value and counts climbed by double digits. Add-ons and carve-outs continued to outperform as GPs added value to their portfolio companies and CEOs rationalized their operations. 💰 Fundraising, in which 311 funds, a record low, raised roughly $300 billion. Funds spent a median of 16.2 months in the market, reflecting the lack of distributions for LPs to reinvest. At last, 2025 looks poised for cautious optimism. Further interest rate cuts, along with an easier regulatory environment, seem likely to spur growth in PE, although there’s still room for caution. Consider the PE forecast to be a mix of sun and clouds with exits. Get the highlights: https://lnkd.in/ggSP94J3
