A Flurry of Other Billion-Dollar Deals
The ICE-Enverus talks were just one part of a cascade of corporate maneuvers:
-
NFL Auditor Eyes $1B Stake Sale: Wipfli, the Milwaukee-based advisory firm that audits the Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers, is reportedly in late talks to sell a 40% stake to New Mountain Capital. The deal, valued north of $1 billion, could close by September and would fund Wipfli’s expansion into the South and Southwest.
-
Oregon Coffee Giant Preps IPO: Black Rock Coffee Bar, founded in 2008 and now with more than 150 locations, has confidentially filed for a New York IPO that could value the chain above $1 billion, with JPMorgan Chase, Jefferies, and Morgan Stanley leading the offering.
-
KKR’s $5B Data Center Push: KKR is in talks to buy ST Telemedia Global Data Centres in Singapore, in a deal topping $5 billion. STT GDC operates over 100 centers across Asia’s largest markets.
-
Marc Jacobs Up for Sale: LVMH is reportedly exploring a $1 billion sale of Marc Jacobs, with potential buyers including Authentic Brands, Bluestar Alliance, and WHP Global.
The Billion-Dollar Summer of Deals
With multiple sectors — from energy analytics to luxury fashion and coffee chains — seeing billion-dollar valuations, analysts say the surge reflects a renewed appetite for high-growth assets even amid market volatility.
If completed, the NYSE Parent to acquire Enverus deal would be the crown jewel of this summer’s dealmaking streak, reshaping the intersection of Wall Street finance and global energy intelligence.
