Why it matters

Energy and industrials dominated prints: EOG’s $5.6B asset deal leads, while CRH’s $2.1B move in eco-materials and Gildan’s $2.2B merger with HanesBrands underscore consolidation across core supply chains. Fintech and data infrastructure stayed lively with FirstCash/H&T ($383M), a multi-investor round in Mesh, and Arjun/Interogo partnering on a stabilized Data4 data-center portfolio.
