Morningstar, Inc. (Nasdaq: MORN), a leading provider of independent investment research, today published its Merger & Acquisition Outlook for 2011, a comprehensive research report that outlines merger and acquisition trends by sector, identifies the 100 most likely takeover candidates across Morningstar's equity coverage universe, highlights the likely acquirers, and examines the implications of merger and acquisition activity for bondholders.

"While global merger and acquisition activity has been on the decline over the last few years, we observed the inklings of a revival in 2010 and expect both the number and size of deals to substantially increase in 2011," said RJ Hottovy, director of equity research for consumer stocks and editor of the report. "We expect some of the key M&A themes to include interest in emerging markets, companies that have mastered a unique niche in their respective industries, and the ability to generate free cash flow."

Morningstar equity analysts identified approximately 100 takeover targets across nine sectors: banking, basic materials, consumer, energy, healthcare, industrials, technology/communication services, and utilities. Potential takeover candidates for each sector were determined by unique and proprietary scoring systems for each sector, based on industry-specific drivers of merger and acquisition activity as well as factors such as free cash flow, management, and capital structure.

Morningstar then examined its list of potential takeover candidates to identify the most compelling stocks for 2011, selecting companies that are the most attractively priced based on their price/fair value ratio and ranking in their respective, sector-specific potential takeover candidate list.

According to Morningstar, the top 10 potential takeover candidates in 2011 are:

* Actelion
* American Eagle
* Clearwire Corporation
* Cloud Peak Energy
* Constellation Energy
* Leap Wireless
* Myriad Genetics
* Petrohawk Energy
* Range Resources
* SunTrust Banks

Morningstar's report also includes a section devoted to Footnoted, a unit of Morningstar that includes Footnoted.com and the Footnoted Pro service. Footnoted released a list of potential takeover candidates for 2011, based on its analysis of Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings. Morningstar acquired the Footnoted business in February 2010.

Footnoted analysts combed through SEC filings, looking for signals that could point to a potential deal, including seemingly innocuous items such as new employment contracts or director and executive changes.

"In 2010, we identified that there were pre-merger signals at more than 40 companies that later announced deals, based on information buried in their SEC filings," said Michelle Leder, editor and founder of Footnoted. "Finding these subtle signals isn't as easy at it sounds. And sometimes, it takes a lot of time for deals to materialize. For example, in March 2009, we found and reported on some interesting disclosures in Jo-Ann Stores' filings that suggested the company might be preparing for an acquisition. Then in December 2010, a deal was announced to take Jo-Ann Stores private."

Footnoted's takeover candidates for 2011 are (in alphabetical order):

* Abiomed
* Copano Energy
* Infinera
* Lawson Software
* Leap Wireless
* LKQ Corp.
* Pride International
* Select Medical Holdings
* Stage Stores
* Smurfit-Stone Container

In the coming months, Morningstar expects to incorporate general information about U.S. private equity firms and funds from the PitchBook database into Morningstar Direct(SM), the company's institutional research platform.

Ah thanks.

Here's the defn:
Par value is a nominal value which (a stock) has no relation to market value and, as a concept, is somewhat archaic. The par value of a stock was the share price upon initial offering; the issuing company promised not to issue further shares below par value, so investors could be confident that no one else was receiving a more favorable issue price. Thus, Par Value is a nominal value of a security which is determined by an issuing company as a minimum price. This was far more important in unregulated equity markets than in the regulated markets that exist today.

What does "no-par value" mean from this statement:

"10Q: As of May 1, 2009, there were 47,686,546 shares of the Company’s common stock, no par value, outstanding."
