what happens to company stock if it gets bought by another company?



my gm stock is not worth much any more, it looks like GM will be merging with Crysler- what happens to my stock?


Stock best answer:

Answer by Stu
That depends. Typically the acquiring company will offer a price per share for the company being acquired. In this case, it would be GM buying Chrysler but Chrysler is a private company so there would be no price/share. So, this type of transaction would just take away cash from GM and likely make the stock value go down even more (unless people think this is a positive transaction and then the GM stock price would go up).
