One school of thoughts is companies go through eras of profiting from inflation and eras of profiting from M&As. Guess an uptick in M&A would suggest they're no longer increasing profits from inflation?

Corporations see others getting profit as competition, and it makes sense to consolidate profits so "Everyone wins" (everyone excluding the consumer)
