INDUSTRIALS SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT 2026

Industrial Insights The Trend INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY Industrial Technology valuations moderated from prior-year levels, with median public trading EBITDA multiples declining from 18.5x in Q2 2025 to 17.1x in Q2 2026. Despite the valuation reset, public market performance remained positive, with the sector index gaining approximately 13% over the past year, though it was the only industrial subsector that did not outperform the S&P 500 over the same period. Transaction activity also strengthened year-over-year, reaching 213 deals in Q2, up from 173 in Q2 the prior year, as buyers continue to target differentiated automation, technology-enabled solutions, and data-driven industrial capabilities.

INDUSTRIAL SERVICES Industrial Services continues to lead the industrial landscape, with public equities significantly outperforming the broader market as the sector index rose approximately 87% over the past year. Median public trading EBITDA multiples held steady at 14.4x in Q2 2025 and 14.5x in Q2 2026, underscoring valuation stability. Transaction volume increased to 198 deals in Q2 from 187 in Q2 the prior year, reflecting sustained buyer appetite for businesses benefiting from recurring demand, infrastructure investment, and fragmented end markets. Continued spending across data centers, power infrastructure, and domestic manufacturing provides additional support for the sector.

TRADITIONAL INDUSTRIALS Traditional Industrials experienced the strongest valuation expansion among the three subsectors, with median public trading EBITDA multiples increasing from 12.4x in Q2 2025 to 17.9x in Q2 2026. Public market performance was also strong, with the sector index gaining approximately 35% over the past year. Transaction activity accelerated to 407 deals in Q2, up from 293 in Q2 the prior year, and the highest quarterly level across the three subsectors. Reshoring, infrastructure investment, and growing power and data center demand continue to reinforce buyer interest in scaled manufacturing and distribution businesses with durable end-market exposure.

Industrial Insights Key Themes & Impacts on the Industrial Landscape 1

OIL & GAS

TARIFFS

•

Tariff volatility is increasing input costs across steel, aluminum and other imported materials

•

Energy price volatility creates margin risk for fixed-price and long-duration projects

•

Supply-chain shifts and sourcing uncertainty are pressuring margins and project pricing

•

Higher fuel and transportation costs pressure contractor and distributor profitability

•

Domestic manufacturing investment is creating opportunities for U.S.-based suppliers and contractors

•

Elevated oil & gas activity supports demand for infrastructure, maintenance and field services

2

MACROECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT H1 2026 •

Major players are committing significant capital to multi-year data center buildouts

•

Skilled-trade shortages continue to constrain capacity across industrial end markets

•

Power availability constraints and rising community pushback are limiting data center development

•

Wage inflation and overtime requirements are pressuring project margins

•

Demand is accelerating for electrical, cooling and engineering infrastructure services

•

Labor scarcity favors scaled operators with strong recruiting, training and retention capabilities

•

PE activity moderated in H1 2026, with deal count annualizing to ~7,530 transactions, below the 8,828 completed in 2025

•

Deal value remains relatively resilient despite lower volumes, as sponsors maintain a selective approach and prioritize scaled, highquality assets

•

Significant dry powder and improving exit pipelines provide a foundation for activity to accelerate, though financing costs and macro uncertainty continue to temper near-term dealmaking

•

Private equity firms are exiting their investments at a faster rate than the 2023 peak, with median exit holding periods declining from 6.4 years to 5.5 years in 2026

•

Companies that remain in PE portfolios are getting older, with median existing holding periods rising to 4.2 years as slower exit activity has extended ownership periods

•

Together, these trends point to a backlog of mature PE-owned companies awaiting exits – as sponsors continue to prioritize realizations, this inventory should support increased exit activity and capital returned to LPs Source: PitchBook

•

PE fundraising continues to normalize from elevated 2021–2023 levels, as the market settles into a more measured pace of capital formation and LP liquidity gradually improves

•

LP selectivity continues to shape fund formation, with capital increasingly concentrated among established managers and differentiated strategies

•

A sustained fundraising recovery will likely depend on improved exit activity and distributions, which would recycle capital back to LPs and support new commitments

•

PE-backed company inventory has continued to expand, reaching more than 13,000 companies in 2026 as new investments continue to outpace exits

•

A significant portion of sponsor-backed assets are approaching or exceeding traditional hold periods, creating mounting pressure to generate liquidity

•

Record secondary market activity is helping unlock sponsor and LP liquidity, with improving distributions expected to support capital recycling and gradually drive increased transaction activity down-market Source: PitchBook
