Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPACs) provide their target firms with an alternative route to go public via a reverse merger. Controlling for year, industry and size, post-merger SPAC firms have similar Total Q ratios and generate similar free cash flow. These results suggest that their market value is consistent with their operational performance. Post-merger SPAC firms invest in their physical and total capital at relatively higher rates.

Overall, SPACs represent a positive financial market development.
