Comment: Realistically this may be better off as a section within Morningstar. The reason being that for a standalone article this needs to meet the requirements of WP:SIRS. See that section and the two sections below on corporate depth and corporate trivia. So M&A is by definition trivia, which knocks out 4 sources. What is left is well short on the need for corporate depth. It's not surprising, most companies, like most people, will not be notable enough for a standalone article.
