The shares of IHS Markit Ltd (NYSE:INFO) are up 7.2% at $99.25 at last check, after news that S&P Global (SPGI) will acquire the company in an all-stock $44 billion deal. In the biggest corporate buyout of this year, the deal is expected to close in the second half of 2021. To follow, 32.25% of SPGI will belong to INFO shareholders. 

Bouncing off the 10-day moving average at the start of November, INFO has been carving out a channel of higher highs. Today's bull gap has the stock hitting a fresh record peak once again, and up 36.6% year-over-year.
