A New Normal? Q1:26 Healthcare M&A Stalls
According to data captured in our LevinPro HC platform, healthcare M&A stalled in the first quarter of 2026, reaching only 527 deals, a modest 3% dip compared with the fourth quarter.

As you can see in the chart below, deal volume has remained remarkably stable, aside from outliers in Q1:25 and Q3:25, each with deal activity exceeding 550 transactions.

Source: LevinPro HC February 2026 In another preview of our 2026 Healthcare Services Acquisition Report, we’re highlighting private equity (PE) investment activity in the Behavioral Healthcare (BHC) market. Despite deal volume rising for the first time in three years (a 44% increase), PE’s involvement in the BHC space has steadily declined since the high of 61% in 2022 to 32% in 2025. The decline of PE investment in the BHC market has given room for strategic and not-for-profit buyers to make an impact on the industry.
