Book excerpt: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the timing of open market share repurchases and its resultant impact on corporate liquidity. We identify the exact implementation dates for over 5,000 equity buybacks on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong between November 1991 and August 1999. A bootstrapping method is used to distinguish managerial timing ability from a naive accumulation plan. The results show that managers exhibit substantial timing ability. Consistent with the information-asymmetry hypothesis (Barclay and Smith (1988 Journal of Financial Economics 22, 61-82)), we find strong evidence that bid-ask spreads widen and depths narrow during repurchase periods. We further decompose bid-ask spreads and show that the adverse selection component increases substantially when market participants respond to the presence of informed managerial trading. Overall, our market timing, spread and depth, and decomposition results reveal a coherent picture of managerial buyback behavior and its impact on firm liquidity. Our results have significant implications for corporate payout and disclosure policies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research on the impact of open market share repurchases has been hindered by the lack of data available on actual share repurchases in many countries, including the US. Using a previously unused database containing detailed information on 36,848 repurchases made by 352 French firms, we show that corporate share repurchases have a significant adverse effect on liquidity as measured by bid-ask spread or depth. Our results also indicate that share repurchases largely reflect contrarian trading rather than managerial timing ability.

Book excerpt: Research into the impact of open market share repurchases has been hindered by the lack of data available on actual share repurchases in many countries, including the U.S. Using a previously unaccessed database containing detailed information on 36,848 repurchase days concerning 352 French firms, we show that corporate share repurchases have a significantly adverse effect on the liquidity of the trading day concerned, whether measured by bid-ask spread or depth. Our results also indicate that although on average managers have some timing ability, only the smallest firms listed on the least liquid market segments successfully take advantage of it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the impacts of actual share repurchases on stock liquidity of companies listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) over 2001-2010. The results show that bid-ask spreads are narrower, price impact is lower, and turnover is higher on repurchase days compared to those on non-repurchase days. In addition, the number of actual shares repurchased is found to be negatively related to bid-ask spreads and price impact, and positively related to turnover. Overall, the findings clearly indicate that actual share repurchases have positive impacts on stock liquidity.

Download or read book The Non Linear Impact of Share Repurchases on Liquidity written by Yordying Thanatawee and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research aims: The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of open market share repurchases on stock liquidity of listed companies in Thailand.Design/ Methodology/Approach: The sample includes 3,055 actual share repurchases made by 75 listed firms in the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) over a period of 13 years from 2002 to 2014. Multiple regressions are used to examine linear and non-linear relationships between actual share repurchases and liquidity measures.Research findings: Results show that actual share repurchases generally have beneficial impacts on liquidity. This is indicated by narrower bid-ask spreads and smaller price impact as firms repurchase more shares. Nonetheless, the impact of share repurchases on stock liquidity of Thai listed firms tends to be nonlinear. At low level share repurchases, repurchasing more shares increases liquidity but at high level share repurchases, acquiring more shares impair liquidity.Theoretical contributions/Originality: The findings of this paper shed some light on the long debate regarding the impact of share repurchases on liquidity by showing that the relationship between stock repurchases and liquidity is non-linear. It is found that share repurchases have a positive effect on stock liquidity if firms repurchase small number of shares per day (price support hypothesis). However, share repurchases may have a detrimental effect on stock liquidity if firms buy back shares aggressively (information asymmetry hypothesis).

Download or read book Survey Research in Corporate Finance written by H. Kent Baker and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011-01-19 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As there is no current book that deals extensively or exclusively with survey research in corporate finance Survey Research in Corporate Finance is the only one of its kind. For even while there are numerous books on survey methodology, none focus on this methodology as specifically applied to corporate finance. In the book, Baker, Singleton, and Velt do nothing less than provide an overview of survey methodology useful to financial researchers, synthesize the major streams or clusters of survey research in corporate finance, and offer a valuable resource and guide for those interested in conducting survey research in finance. Thus this volume will be an essential reference for practitioners, academics, and graduate students - who all must know the methodology of finance survey research. In addition to methodology, the book identifies areas that will be best served by survey-based research. Researchers will have a wealth of information regarding past surveys and will be aware of suitable candidates for future surveys. Several chapters are devoted to synthesizing survey results on major issues in finance. These will help decision makers in finance and in non-finance firms to acquire knowledge learned from years of communications between academics and practitioners.

Download or read book Corporate Payout Policy written by Harry DeAngelo and published by Now Publishers Inc. This book was released on 2009 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corporate Payout Policy synthesizes the academic research on payout policy and explains "how much, when, and how". That is (i) the overall value of payouts over the life of the enterprise, (ii) the time profile of a firm's payouts across periods, and (iii) the form of those payouts. The authors conclude that today's theory does a good job of explaining the general features of corporate payout policies, but some important gaps remain. So while our emphasis is to clarify "what we know" about payout policy, the authors also identify a number of interesting unresolved questions for future research. Corporate Payout Policy discusses potential influences on corporate payout policy including managerial use of payouts to signal future earnings to outside investors, individuals' behavioral biases that lead to sentiment-based demands for distributions, the desire of large block stockholders to maintain corporate control, and personal tax incentives to defer payouts. The authors highlight four important "carry-away" points: the literature's focus on whether repurchases will (or should) drive out dividends is misplaced because it implicitly assumes that a single payout vehicle is optimal; extant empirical evidence is strongly incompatible with the notion that the primary purpose of dividends is to signal managers' views of future earnings to outside investors; over-confidence on the part of managers is potentially a first-order determinant of payout policy because it induces them to over-retain resources to invest in dubious projects and so behavioral biases may, in fact, turn out to be more important than agency costs in explaining why investors pressure firms to accelerate payouts; the influence of controlling stockholders on payout policy --- particularly in non-U.S. firms, where controlling stockholders are common --- is a promising area for future research. Corporate Payout Policy is required reading for both researchers and practitioners interested in understanding this central topic in corporate finance and governance.

This book was released on 2022-02-09 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once infrequently used, stock buybacks have become the dominant form of corporate payouts in the new century. Hundreds of billions of dollars flow from public companies to their shareholders via share repurchases every year. This literature review presents the main findings from the academic literature on stock buybacks in the United States and around the world. Where appropriate and possible, it compares and contrasts the insights of researchers to the views of practitioners. There has been much controversy about share repurchases in recent years. On the one hand, proponents of share repurchases say that this payout method provides liquidity and price support, returns excess cash in a flexible way, corrects undervaluation, and conveys information to the market. These aspects of buybacks are also often cited by practitioners as motivations for their share repurchase decisions. Academic research provides evidence that supports this view as well. On the other hand, opponents of buybacks argue that the practice may be used to manipulate executive compensation and mislead investors. While these aspects of share repurchase are rarely mentioned by corporate executives, academic research lends some credence to these concerns. Overall, academic researchers agree that while stock buybacks may be misused, this payout method has clear advantages. Hence, the challenge is to provide the right combination of oversight that allows companies to benefit from those advantages while minimizing potential costs. Finally, the studies surveyed in this review point out that a company’s buyback decision is tightly linked to many of its other policies, such as capital structure, compensation, risk management, and disclosure. Consequently, share repurchase policy discussions should also recognize the implications of the proposed changes for other corporate policies.
