M&A & Catalysts workspace

The deal + catalyst wall: going-private / tender-offer / passive-stake / late-filer filing tapes over activist 13D, IPO pipeline, filings feed + halts + drug-shortage catalysts

Use it when: When you trade individual names, or when something is moving and you need to know whether a filing already explained it.

A stock-picker's board. It will not move ES and it is not meant to - open it when a name on your watchlist is the story.

• Presets in the menu bar, under the category this desk belongs to — one click applies the whole layout, and a checkmark tracks which one is active.
• Or the command palette on Ctrl+P, which finds it by name.
• Every panel can be re-pointed at another symbol from its own header, and anything the desk does not open is in the Add Panel menu.

• 1. The going-private and tender-offer tapes first: those are deals with a price attached, and the price is the ceiling.
• 2. Passive stakes and activist 13D next - a 13D is somebody announcing they intend to change the company, which is a different signal from a passive 13G.
• 3. Corporate actions and halts for the mechanical events, then the IPO and M&A pipeline for what is coming.
• 4. Late filers and drug shortages last: both are distress tells that surface before the announcement does.

The tell: A tender offer sets a ceiling and a 13D sets a floor under a story. When a name gaps and neither tape explains it, the move is positioning, and positioning gives back.

5 panels, read straight from the preset definition in the desktop build:

• Activist Stakes (13D radar)
• Catalyst Feed (regulatory filings — ahead of the news)
• Corporate Actions (splits / CUSIP / schemes)
• Trading Halts (live LUDP / news / regulatory)
• IPO / M&A Pipeline (S-1 / 424B4 / DEFM14A)

Plus 5 dense sheets — wide tables that carry a whole complex in one upstream call rather than a wall of single-series tiles:

• Drug Shortages
• Going-Private
• Late Filers
• Passive Stakes
• Tender Offers

• All workspace presets — how docking, link groups and saved layouts work.
• Panel reference — what each panel shows, column by column.
