Merger Arbitrage Spreads
The merger arbitrage stocks spread list is a FREE list of the largest all-cash deal spreads trading on a major U.S. stock exchange. This is the most recent list update of merger arbitrage opportunities as of January 3, 2022. The FREE merger stock tracker spreadsheet below contains the latest essential deal information and criteria as per official company announcements of the largest 20 deal spread opportunities. We refer to this list of arbitrage spreads of pending mergers as the “T20 Index” or “T20 portfolio”.

Merger Arbitrage Spreads - Index List Eligibility Rules
Rules for inclusion in the largest cash merger arbitrage spread list are found on the Spread Tracker Rules page. This page also includes additional help and user guidelines. Common rules for inclusion on the investable database arbitrage list include (but are not limited to) minimum price. Lower stock prices and can have a dramatic effect on the percentage movement of a spread value. In addition, unlike some other data providers, we include dividends in the return calculation. Our forecast date for future ex-div dates uses historical payment dates in lieu of official announcements. For this reason, we calculate the final dividend amount up to the expected completion date as given by the parties involved.
