Corporate takeover activity across all industries is expected to surge next year due to the ability of CEOs to use their high stock prices as currency and a laxer regulatory environment under the new Trump administration. 

The Biden administration’s tough stance on antitrust stifled deal activity, and a number of high-profile deals didn’t make it, such as JetBlue’s merger with Spirit Airlines.
