Does Shareholder Composition Matter? Evidence from the Market Reaction to Corporate Earnings Announcements
研究机构投资者构成如何影响市场对负面盈利公告的反应,发现持有动量或激进增长型策略的机构比例越高,股价负面反应越强,但未发现过度反应证据。
ABSTRACT We examine whether institutional ownership composition is related to parameters of the market reaction to negative earnings announcements. When firms report earnings below analysts' expectations, the stock price response is more negative for firms with higher levels of ownership by momentum or aggressive growth investors. There is no evidence, however, that these institutions cause an “overreaction” to earnings news. Ownership structure is also related to trading volume and to stock price volatility on days around earnings announcements. Our findings are consistent with the idea that the composition of institutional shareholders effects stock price behavior around the release of corporate information.
