Hypothetically speaking, if the second largest company in industry "x" was about to merge with the largest company in industry "x", and they had not released the information to the public yet. What could one expect to happen to that stocks value when the information was released?
Lets say hypothetically that industry had about 10-15 competitors. each with between 20 - 5% market share, and after the merger the highest would have around 35% market share leaving the next largest competitor at around 10%.
Would the result be different if it was an acquisition as opposed to a merger? Would the result be different if the industry had less competition? More competition?
