Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPAC) Profiles
Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPACs), often called “blank check companies,” remain a key trend on Wall Street in 2025. A SPAC is a publicly traded shell company created to raise capital through an IPO with the goal of acquiring an existing business. Typically formed by experienced investors or sponsors targeting a specific industry, SPACs offer a faster path to the public markets compared to traditional IPOs. While SPACs can deliver significant returns, they also carry notable risks, as emphasized by regulators in recent years. Barchart’s Special Purpose Acquisition Companies list gives investors an easy way to track and compare SPACs to identify the most promising investment opportunities.
