Tombstone

A tombstone in finance refers to a formal advertisement or announcement, typically published in industry publications or newspapers, that showcases a company's recent achievements, such as a new stock or bond issuance, merger, or acquisition. It serves to inform the market and highlight the company's activities and credibility. Often professionally designed, tombstones include key details about the transaction, the involved parties, and the timeframe. They are a standard way for firms to publicly showcase their milestones, demonstrate expertise, and enhance their reputation in the industry.
