Demand for financial asset broking services has been mixed over the past few years. Merger and acquisition (M&A) activity peaked in 2021, spurred by digitisation trends and low interest rates. More recently, inflationary pressures and subdued business sentiment have curtailed M&A plans. Still, demand in the technology and telecommunications sectors, driven by rising interest in AI, continues to offer respite within the broader M&A landscape. Meanwhile, mortgage broking plunged along with new residential mortgage lending over the two years through 2023-24 as dwindling housing affordability weighed on mortgage uptake. However, mortgage activity has since rebounded, as successive cash rate cuts from August 2024 have improved housing affordability and stimulated property transactions. New Zealand’s small market size and strong competition from foreign exchanges, notably the ASX, constrain industry revenue and profitability expansion. Despite rocky market conditions, some segments, like capital raising, have outperformed other investment banking services. Companies seeking to fortify their balance sheets amid a harsh trading environment have bolstered capital-raising activity. Amendments to the NZX’s listing rules in January 2024 to allow accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offers (ANREOs) have provided issuers more flexibility in their fundraising activities, further stimulating capital-raising activity. This shift and mounting appetite for capital-raising activity have partly offset other segments' decline. Overall, industry revenue is expected to nosedive at an annualised 5.8% to $556.4 million over the five years through 2025-26. Nevertheless, improved mortgage uptake and a widespread recovery in the housing market are anticipated to contribute to a 2.2% revenue rise in 2025-26. Stabilising macroeconomic conditions and easing inflation are forecast to improve economic and monetary policy certainty. This environment is likely to narrow valuation gaps between targets and acquirers, supporting a moderate uptick in M&A activity. Nonetheless, heightened recession concerns fuelled by recent US reciprocal tariffs are tempering investor sentiment, limiting the overall momentum for deals. New Zealand’s smaller market size and fewer opportunities on the NZX will continue driving domestic companies to list on larger exchanges like the ASX. While upcoming reforms – like the removal of the requirement to publish prospective financial information for NZX IPOs – may help stimulate the exchange's IPO pipeline, it's unlikely to match foreign markets’ capital appeal. Meanwhile, housing market policies like partially restoring interest deductibility for residential investment loans, shortening the bright-line test and increasing land availability are poised to reignite property transactions. That’s why revenue is projected to rise at an annualised 2.9% to $643.0 million through the end of 2030-31.
