Profile vs. M&A Activity — which tab to use
Two tabs on every company profile cover overlapping but distinct data:
Profile tab — summary of the business: description, sector, ownership status, investors, advisors, leadership context.
M&A Activity tab — every transaction the company has been involved in, as buyer or seller, with date, type, and counterparties.
A note on the M&A Activity tab: it appears on the company's profile only if there's at least one buy-side or sell-side transaction on file. If a company has no recorded M&A activity, the tab won't appear.
Step 1 — Find the company
Use the search bar at the top of any Mergr page. Type the company name or, for public companies, the stock ticker (e.g., Microsoft or MSFT). Pick a match from the autocomplete dropdown.
Step 2 — Open the profile and click M&A Activity
Selecting the company opens its profile page (the Profile tab is the default view). Click the M&A Activity tab to switch to the transaction view.
Step 3 — Read and filter the M&A table
The M&A Activity tab lists every transaction Mergr has on file for the company — sorted most-recent-first by default.
Each row shows:
Date of the transaction.
Counterparty (buyer or seller, depending on which side the company was on).
Transaction type (e.g., Add-on Acquisition, Divestiture)
Deal value (where disclosed).
Source column
The table is filterable by:
Sector of the target company in each transaction
Transaction type
Geography (target country)
Year
Tips
Toggle Buy vs. Sell to read activity separately.
Click the newspaper icon in the SRC column to view complete deal details.
