Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Acquisition Rumor Tracker surface?
Public posts speculating that a named company is being acquired, merging or in talks: "hearing X is buying them", reported term-sheet leaks, banker chatter and journalist hints, all scoped to the last 60 days.
How are rumors ranked?
By a mix of engagement (how much the post spread) and author credibility (whether it comes from a reporter, investor or insider versus an anonymous account). This pushes substantiated whispers above low-signal speculation.
How do I run it for a specific deal?
Name the target company, and if you have one in mind, the rumored acquirer too. Supplying both narrows the search to posts about that specific pairing rather than all M&A talk involving the target.
Are these rumors verified?
No. By definition these are unconfirmed rumors, and most M&A speculation never materialises. The credibility weighting helps you prioritise, but every item should be treated as unverified until confirmed by an official filing or announcement.
What does author credibility weighting actually consider?
It favours accounts with a track record or relevant standing, recognised journalists, investors, or people close to the sector, over throwaway or anonymous accounts, because their claims historically carry more signal even though none are guaranteed.
Can I use this for due diligence?
As an early-signal layer, yes, but never as a sole source. It is useful for catching a rumor before it hits mainstream press; confirm anything material through primary sources before acting on it.
Why a 60-day window?
M&A rumors build slowly, often weeks of whispers before a deal surfaces. Sixty days captures that buildup so you see the arc of a rumor rather than just the day it spiked.
How much does it cost?
It is free for 5 runs per day with no signup. Analysts tracking several targets continuously can upgrade to Pro at $19/month for unlimited runs.
