Will Dealmaking Boom Under Trump? Lazard CEO Peter Orszag Weighs In
On WSJ’s Take On the Week, co-hosts Gunjan Banerji and Telis Demos dive into what almost everyone on Wall Street is fixated on right now: rising bond yields. Then they explore what Disney’s potential merger with FuboTV means for streaming services and how sports and other live events are driving those deals. Telis also gears up for the Super Bowl. Well, his super bowl — bank earnings. JPMorgan, Bank of America, Wells Fargo and others report later this week. Later on, Peter Orszag, CEO of the asset manager and investment bank Lazard, joins the co-hosts to talk about what to expect when it comes to M&A dealmaking in 2025. Peter, who also served as the director of the Office of Management and Budget in the Obama administration, also talks about prospective tariffs, how the dealmaking landscape may change in a second Trump administration, and about the proposed Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy-led advisory council, Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE. This is WSJ’s Take On the Week where co-hosts Gunjan Banerji, lead writer for Live Markets, and Telis Demos, Heard on the Street’s banking and money columnist, cut through the noise and dive into markets, the economy and finance—the big trades, key players and business news ahead.

WSJ’s Take On the Year: Market Trends to Watch in 2025
AI was a big stock market theme in 2024. We’ve talked about it, and heard it many times. But it was far from the only thing that happened in stocks last year. We saw record-breaking growth from power companies like Vistra. Cult stocks like Palantir and MicroStrategy also had a moment. And of course, Nvidia, a company that needs no introduction, had a blockbuster year. But where there are winners, there are also losers. The announcement of Walgreens’ potential sale highlighted the challenges within the retail pharmacy sector. Shares of the biotech company Moderna also slumped partly due to waning demand for its Covid-19 vaccine and booster. And discount chain Dollar Tree took a hit this year as its shoppers showed signs of belt-tightening. For our first episode of 2025, we’re joined by global editor of WSJ’s Heard on the Street column, Spencer Jakab, and deputy editor of WSJ’s Heard on the Street, Aaron Back, to reveal more of the market’s winners and losers in 2024 and examine what their wins or losses could mean for investors and the economy in the year ahead.

Welcome to WSJ’s Take On the Week.

Later on, the co-hosts are joined by Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev. Before the trading platform Robinhood became a one-stop app offering a slew of financial products, from credit cards to retirement accounts, it was at the center of the 2021 GameStop and meme stock frenzy.
