Abstract | We analyze a large sample of merger announcements to characterize information flows in merger arbitrage. Despite attempts to manipulate information, it is possible for merger arbitrageurs to extract fundamental information from the financial media. This information moves slowly and it takes several days to become fully absorbed in stock prices. A simple merger arbitrage strategy based on media content increases risk-adjusted returns by more than 12 percentage points. |
