Hi, everybody! I keep working with delisted companies' data and I have successfully retrieved a list of these companies using the "ReasonDelisted" selector, as illustrated in the attached screenshot. However, I have encountered a limitation with the scope of reasons provided for delisting. Currently, the data only reflects two reasons: "Acquired" and "Merged". Notably, it lacks information on companies that have either filed for bankruptcy or transitioned to private ownership.
This omission leads me to two questions:
- What is the reason for the absence of other delisting reasons in the dataset, particularly for companies that have gone bankrupt or private?
- I have observed that some companies, despite having undergone mergers, do not have this information reflected in their "ReasonDelisted" field. Could you provide insight into why this might be the case?
Furthermore, to delist return calculations, I am interested in obtaining detailed terms of acquisition or merger for the companies in question. Is there a methodology or tool available that would allow for the collection of this specific data?Screenshot 2024-02-14 at 11.08.19.png
Thank you in advance!
