(Bloomberg) -- Intralinks doesn't own a crystal ball, yet the company says its proprietary technology comes close to predicting the future for mergers and acquisitions. Companies use Intralinks to conduct due diligence on potential M&A targets. That means Intralinks has information on what sort of deals are coming about six months before they're announced. Intralinks' Matt Porzio joins Alex Sherman to spill the beans on what kind of deals we'll see in the first half of 2016. Plus, Bloomberg's Aaron Kirchfeld helped break the news on China National Chemical Corp.'s revised bid to acquire Swiss pesticide-maker Syngenta, valued at more than $35 billion. He explains why that deal -- or one between Syngenta and Monsanto Co. -- will probably happen in the coming weeks.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
