Behind the Mirror: Beauty M&A Trends with Houlihan Lokey

The Beauty and Personal Care sector continues to attract strong investor interest, but what are buyers really looking for in today’s evolving market? This session explores the key drivers of value while also examining the red flags that can derail a deal. We’ll look at how global uncertainty, particularly around tariffs and regulatory shifts, is reshaping deal structures and timelines. Finally, we’ll unpack the reasons behind the rising number of failed transactions and what it takes to avoid becoming one of them.
