High Court decision strengthens GST refund positions for developers
Today’s business leaders navigating Australia’s M&A landscape need to look beyond short‑term performance and financial metrics alone. What matters most to investors is a strong, scalable and defensible business, particularly in an environment shaped by geopolitical and economic uncertainty.

IMs led the charge by deploying long-held capital, while IPOs are subdued – likely into the future. Industrials continues to be the sector driving activity, and SMEs again remain some of the most sought-after targets for acquisition.
