Bar chart
Carve-out challenges dealmakers rate as material
A bar chart of the challenges dealmakers rated as material in carve-outs, from KPMG's 2026 Global M&A Outlook, a survey of 700 dealmakers of whom 181 work in private equity. Operational disentanglement leads at 52%, and customer retention does not appear. Operating partners can use it to make the case for a customer workstream in the separation plan, which Koji runs as AI-moderated interviews.
