Oregon M&A Overview — Business Sale Activity for M&A Targets

Q4 2025 M&A activity in Oregon and New Mexico reflected sustained strategic and private equity interest across industrials, technology, natural resources, and financial services, underscoring the region’s diversified economic base. In Oregon, Portland continued to anchor transaction flow, with financial services consolidation highlighted by GSR’s acquisition of Equilibrium Capital Services and Paulson Capital Holding Company’s purchase of JWTT Inc., alongside continued wealth and insurance platform expansion through EP Wealth Advisors’ acquisition of Clearview Wealth Advisors and Digital Insurance’s acquisition of Martinen LLC. Strategic buyers were equally active in industrial and building products, including BlueLinx Corporation’s $96 million acquisition of Disdero Lumber Co., Andersen Corporation’s purchase of Bright Wood Corporation, and Arclin’s acquisition of The Willamette Valley Company, reinforcing the Pacific Northwest’s importance in specialty chemicals, wood products, and distribution. Technology and cybersecurity remained focal points, with Arctic Wolf Networks acquiring UpSight Security and Noggin Holdings purchasing Got Wonder, while Oak Hill Capital-backed Hunter Communications added telecom scale in Southern Oregon. In New Mexico, mineral and resource consolidation activity, including Homeland Nickel’s acquisition of additional claims, reflected continued long-term conviction in critical minerals and exploration assets. Collectively, Q4 deal flow demonstrates that both Oregon and New Mexico remain attractive to strategic acquirers and financial sponsors seeking scalable platforms, essential service providers, and hard-asset exposure in growth-oriented Western markets.
