AI\u2011related deal activity is gaining momentum again – after a post\u20112021 slowdown, AI\u2011enabled businesses are re\u2011entering the M&A pipeline in greater numbers and are expected to feature more prominently in 2026.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nEuclid released its 2025 Global RWI Claims Study earlier this year, covering the twelve\u2011month period ended 30 June 2025, during which we paid $314 million in claims globally, our busiest 12\u2011month period on record. Within EMEA and APAC alone, we have now incurred nearly $200 million of losses, reinforcing our focus on delivering a fair, efficient claims process and underwriting discipline that supports long\u2011term sustainability.<\/p>\n
Pricing remains a key conversation. We continue to advocate for sustainable rates on line that reflect the true risk being underwritten, enabling the service standards and claims outcomes our brokers and clients expect.<\/p>\n
Do our numbers align with your experiences in the M&A and W&I markets? What are your expectations for M&A in 2026?\u00a0 Feel free reach out to Euclid Transactional to discuss these or any other topics.<\/p>\n
