LSEG

STARMINE M&A

TARGET MODEL

Mitigate risk, enhance multi-factor models and

identify M&A targets with a model that predicts

companies that are more likely to be acquired.

Our solution

M&A activity impacts traders, investors and bankers alike. Post-announcement price spikes in target companies can jeopardise short positions. Additionally, an acquisition probability ranking can provide an orthogonal data point for multi-factor alpha and risk models and also can help investment banks identify potential commercial opportunities.

With the StarMine M&A Target Model you get access to the first commercially available model that uses a large language model to rank potential merger and acquisition (M&A) targets within the next 12 months for over 38,000 public companies.

The model is global, but it accounts for different levels of acquisition activity by region and allocates a greater probability for sectors experiencing a wave of activity.
