event-driven investing

Event-driven investing is a strategy where investors seek to profit from specific, significant corporate events—such as mergers, acquisitions, restructures, or regulatory decisions—that can impact a company's stock price. By analyzing how these events might influence value, investors position themselves to benefit from anticipated changes. Essentially, they focus on timing trades around predictable or likely events, aiming to capitalize on price movements that occur when these events unfold or are announced, thereby potentially generating returns independent of overall market trends.
