Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major attribute of the United States capital markets is the separation of ownership and control. This separation gives insiders the opportunity to take advantage of private information not available to the market. The issue of whether insiders opportunistically take advantage of their private information is studied in two contexts: seasoned equity issues and earnings manipulation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines insider trading around seasoned equity offering announcements in Hong Kong. Consistent with prior studies, we find positive (negative) abnormal returns associated with the announcement of placings (rights offerings). We find evidence that suggests insiders of placing firms delay trading to avoid legal and market penalties. Mature firms are more undervalued relative to growth firms in the placing sub-sample. Furthermore, insiders sell (buy) because of a negative (positive) price response for mature (growth) firms in the rights offering sub-sample. The stock price response to the information content of insider trading depends on the type of security offered. A positive price response is observed for growth firms that announce placements. In general, growth opportunities rather than insider trading explain longer-term investment returns.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper provides evidence on managerial motives for raising equity by examining long-run performance and insider trading around canceled and completed seasoned equity offerings (SEOs). Insider selling increases prior to completed and canceled SEOs, but declines afterward only for canceled offerings. For completed SEOs, pre-filing insider trading is related to long-run performance after completion. For canceled SEOs, pre-filing insider trading is related to stock performance between filing and cancellation. Finally, changes in insider trading around SEO filing effect the probability of cancellation. Overall, the evidence is consistent with insiders exploiting windows of opportunity by attempting to issue overvalued equity, and canceling theissue when the market reaction to the announcement eliminates the overvaluation.
Download or read book Insider Trading and Incentives to Manage Earnings written by Messod D. Beneish and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper evaluates two hypotheses about the relation between insider selling and earnings management in periods preceding poor corporate performance. Consistent with our litigation avoidance hypothesis, we provide evidence that managers manage earnings upwards after they have engaged in abnormally high levels of insider selling. In contrast, we find no support for the pump and dump hypothesis of earnings being managed before managers sell their equity. Our findings indicate insider trading provides managers with incentives to subsequently manage earnings upward, to distance their selling from the revelation of bad news and reduce the likelihood of reputation, employment, and litigation losses. We show these incentives co-exist and complement incentives to avoid default in a sample of 462 firms that experience technical default in 1983-1997. Our findings suggest that investors and those with oversight authority (e.g., boards of directors, auditors, and regulators) consider monitoring prior rather than contemporaneous insider-trading activity as a part of their corporate governance practices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My dissertation consists of three chapters. My first chapter examines the degree of earnings management by IPO issuers and further investigates which financial institutions participating in the IPO process play a significant role in discouraging earnings manipulation. I employ a propensity score matching technique to improve on the existing approach of measuring earnings management, and also to control for potential endogeniety. After controlling for endogeniety in these two variables, the analysis shows that underwriters, but not venture capitalists are associated with a significant decrease in earnings management.

Book excerpt: This paper analyzes the relationship between earnings management and insider trading, specifically investigating whether discretionary accruals are related to insider trading and valuation. We find strong evidence of insiders managing earnings downward when buying and managing earnings upward when selling. On the marginal basis, value (high book-to-market value) firms manage their earnings upward compared to growth (low book-to-market value) firms, consistent with a signaling hypothesis. However the opposite is true on the average basis, consistent with an opportunistic hypothesis.
Download or read book Insider Trading Earnings Management and Information Asymmetry written by Abu Zakir Md Rasel Chowdhury and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Insider trading is highly tied to earnings management in an asymmetric information environment. Using US data during 2004-2012 and different discretionary accrual measures, we reveal that insiders net purchase ratio dominated by sales, insider purchase ratio and cumulative abnormal return are positively associated with absolute value of earnings management (earnings quality). We also document high earnings management practice in growth firms (low book-to market) than value firms (high book-to market) as well as active involvement of major insiders (e.g. CEO) in such practice for personal benefits. A leading role of information asymmetry and its moderation effect is prevalent. Further evidence also suggests manipulation of earnings for insiders' opportunistic trading over routine trading. Overseeing the earnings management and insider trading behavior simultaneously by the regulators is identified as an important policy issue in this research.
Download or read book Earnings Valuation and Insider Trading written by Wen Yu and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explores insider trading as a function of differences between managers' and the market's assessment of company earning components - specifically operating cash flows and accruals. It extends prior research by more comprehensively studying earnings components. It also builds a perspective of managers as sophisticated investors who, while engaging in earnings management, ultimately make insider trading decisions based on the divergence between their private valuation of earnings components and the market's. Thus managers may, seemingly counter-intuitively, engage in income-increasing earnings management and insider buying in the same period. Using 4,357 recent firm - years of observations, we find strong evidence that insider buying, but not selling, behavior is consistent with managerial insider trading based on a market valuation divergence of both operating cash flows and accruals, rather than on either element individually, or on managers' use of accounting discretion. We apply the methodological framework of the Mishkin (1983) test to address the hypothesis above. In particular, we assess the relations involving market pricing and characteristics of company earnings and insider trading as these relate to the fundamental idea of market valuation divergence.
