Best M&A news source?

Just wondering what sources people generally rely on to get broad M&A news, including the more industry-relevant details (leverage multiples, funding mechanisms, lead banks/law firms, etc.). I'm looking in particular for a place to get the "less newsworthy" deals on my radar.

 
Most Helpful

My daily reads are:

  1. Dealbook (biggest deals & some analysis)
  2. Reuters/deals (thorough deal coverage)
  3. Matt Levine column (Bloomberg -- MUST READ)

Other things I read (not every day):

  1. bullpenNews.com (great weekly deals coverage + fun articles)
  2. PEHub.com (good PE coverage)
  3. Stratechery.com (best tech strategy analysis hands down)
 

I find Twitter to be the best way of getting real-time coverage on deals/M&A

Here are some people/feeds to follow:

  • Dana Cimilluca (@danacimilluca) - Deals Editor at WSJ
  • Bloomberg Deals (@bloombergdeals)
  • Dan Primack (@danprimack) - Mostly Tech/VC Deals/M&A. Also has a great newsletter at Axios Pro Rata
  • Maureen Farrell (@maureenfarrell) - IPO/Capital markets reporter at WSJ
  • Cara Lombardo (@CaraRLombardo) - Activist investor reporter at WSJ
  • Miriam Gottfried (@miriamgottfried) - Private Equity reporter at WSJ
  • pehub (@peHUB)

lot's more, PM me to get my twitter handle cuz i retweet a lot of them and aggregate

 

Sure, just check it out, it's amazing. I just use Mergermarket to pick up deal intelligence for interviews. If I look for insights regarding deal dynamics I would definitely choose Levine's column.

I like Pillars of Wall Street’s “Deal of the Week”. They will typically do a comprehensive one pager on a major deal including rationale behind the deal and the multiples backing it. Only negative is that they don’t publish frequently so you would have to rely on a combination of other sources to bridge the gap.
