Webinar on Demand: 20-Min Market Insights | Corporate Actions & Liquidity: Mapping Buybacks, M&A and Issuance Trends

During 2025, U.S. companies continued to provide a powerful backstop to equity markets, with record levels of buybacks, a resurgence in cash M&A, and one of the strongest years for new offerings since 2021. These corporate actions — alongside shifting sector participation and evolving insider behavior — are shaping liquidity conditions and influencing price dynamics as we move into 2026.

During a 20‑minute Markets Insight call, EPFR’s Senior Thematic Analyst Kirsten Longbottom and Liquidity Analyst Winston Chua will walk through the key drivers behind 2025’s historic corporate actions activity & what signals we’re looking at for the year ahead.
