Definition of 'Acquisition'
A corporate action in which a company buys most, if not all,
of the target company's ownership stakes in order to assume
control of the target firm. Acquisitions are often made as
part of a company's growth strategy whereby it is more

niche compared to expanding on its own. Acquisitions are
often paid in cash, the acquiring company's stock or a
combination of both.
