RE:A merger and acquisition ..............Thanks for that definition. I agree care is needed.
In the extreme case of no new shares issued and just debt added for the purchase, I guess the EPS would go up. But it would still be scary as all hell.

A merger and acquisition (M&A) deal is said to be accretive if the acquiring firm's earnings per share (EPS) increase after the deal goes through. If the resulting deal causes the acquiring firm's EPS to decline, the deal is considered to be dilutive. Investors should be careful with this analysis.
