This appears to be a straight-forward corporate acquisition. From the account transaction list, use the Enter Transaction button to get to the Corporate Acquisition action. Analog acquires Maxim at a share ratio of 0.630 effective 8/26/21. Confirm those details through your brokerage. Closing price of ADI on 8/26 was 167.36. If needed, you will sell any fractional share you were due for a cash-in-lieu amount you will see in your account shortly.

Hi
@Papa Jay
You need to use the "Corporate Acquisition (stock for stock)" transaction type. It is one in a long list of transaction types available in the "Enter transaction:" drop-down list for brokerage and other investing type accounts.
You will need to enter the names of "Company acquired", the "Acquiring company", the "New shares issued - per share held" and "The price per share for the acquiring company after the acquisition".
Make sure that you make a backup of your Quicken datafile before entering the transaction (just in case something goes wrong.
Let me know if you have any followups.

Hi - why do we need the "The price per share for the acquiring company after the acquisition" for a stock for stock transaction? That shouldn't effect cost basis info correct? Is it just to give a market price of the new stock, ADI?

- I believe that is correct.

Hi
@gsb88
Yes, in order to effect the acquisition transaction, including the value of the holdings post acquisition, the price per share of the new stock is used.
