The shadow of the blue wave on Wall Street mega-deals.
Trump's return to the White House changed the market environment for mergers and acquisitions of companies in the United States and provided the ground for large and unprecedented deals. But the Democrats' landslide victory in the midterm elections created new anxiety among Wall Street executives; They fear that with the growing influence of the Democrats, the opportunity to make these deals will be limited.
According to Bloomberg's report, more than half of the deals over $50 billion in the last two decades, with the presence of at least one American company, were made during Trump's presidency. Among the biggest deals of the year are the purchase of Lumentum by Marvel for more than 100 billion dollars and the transfer of 110 billion dollars by Warner Bros. to Paramount.
One of the most sensitive cases is the possible merger of SpaceX and Tesla led by Elon Musk. Musk hopes to announce the deal by the first half of 2027, but the possibility of a democratic investigation into his financial activities, as well as possible restrictions on the development of artificial intelligence, have made the deal difficult.
Democrats, by controlling Congress, can put big deals under public pressure through hearings, investigations, and subpoenas; Even if the control of the main regulatory bodies will remain in the hands of the Trump administration.
Along with the political obstacles, the fear of the heavy costs of artificial intelligence and voter opposition to the accelerated development of data centers cast a shadow on the market.
