If an all-stock deal is accretive, what is the impact on the 'Earnings per Dollar Spent'?

  1. The earnings per dollar spent always decreases in every stock-for-stock merger transaction.
  2. The acquirer is buying more earnings per dollar of stock issued than its current shares represent.
  3. There is no real 'spend' in an all-stock deal, since no cash changes hands between the two parties.
  4. The acquirer is buying strictly less earnings per dollar of stock issued than its own current shares represent.
