  • In Q1 2026, private equity firms acquired over 100 US companies with at least 500 employees, primarily in professional, scientific, and technical services, followed by information technology (20%) and manufacturing (16%). The report highlights concerns that the private equity focus on short-term returns leads to deferred maintenance and downsizing in manufacturing, and financial instability in food services through high debt loads. Notably, a $10.7 billion consortium led by BlackRock and EQT to acquire AES Corporation would significantly increase their fossil fuel power plant portfolios. Other tracked activities include acquisitions in education staffing, childcare franchises, professional sports, and the restructuring of TikTok's US operations.
