How small/large can takeovers be?
Full disclosure: I'm a summer analyst working on my project/presentation.
I am wondering how small a target company can realistically be, relative to the acquirer?
Many thanks

I'd ask your senior analyst. Sizable would be anything over 10-15% of the company's market cap but I can't tell you what is too big because I don't know what's allowed and what isn't. Best of luck.
