Book excerpt: Stock splits have been for a long time a puzzling phenomenon that can bear particular consequences for stock's liquidity as well as for a stock price. I perform an analysis of stock splits accomplished between 2000 and May 2011 inclusive by companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange. I seek to identify whether the stock splits under consideration constitute any signal to existing and potential shareholders and whether the stock split can add value to shareholders' wealth.I use three methods to analyze the impact of splits on subsequent price performance of 629 stocks listed on the New York Stock Exchange, i.e. mean adjusted return method, market model method and market adjusted return method. The data used contain daily rates of return and the event window encompasses the time period of [40;+40], i.e. the interval from the 40th stock exchange trading session preceding the stock split to the 40th session after the stock split, as well as the first session after the stock split. In the wake of the stock split the volatility of abnormal returns as measured with standard deviation declines under three methods employed by: 6.58%, 46.71%, and 48.24%, respectively. This fact is indicative of benefits derived from splitting the shares, e.g. stabilization of the share price and consequently a change in stock's risk-return profile. In turn, it can alter market participants' perception of a given stock. What is more, shareholders' gains as measured with cumulative abnormal rates of return, all 1-percent significant, reached within the event window outperform pre-split benefits, i.e. achieved as a result of a buy-and-hold strategy within the time frame of [-40;-1] as well as those attained in the post-split era, i.e. in the interval [+1:+40], using the same strategy. Investors who pursued the first strategy averaged with the cumulative abnormal rates of returns for three methods used at the level of: 41.76%, 15.28%, and 39.77%, respectively. Therefore the stock split can be viewed as a value creation vehicle.On the other hand, these findings show that managers that expect an improvement in financial health of their companies decide to split the shares thus conveying information what, in turn, is congruent with the signaling hypothesis. Moreover, in the aftermath of the stock split one may observe a substantial increase in the stock price what underlines the fact that stock splits are in general good news.
Download or read book Value Creation for Owners and Directors written by Massimo Massa and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-05-10 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with a much understudied and poorly understood aspect of business: the role of owners and boards in value creation. While there is abundant guidance on value creation for publicly listed firms and their managers, the role played by owners, and their corporate directors, in value creation and governance has been overlooked. This book aims to fill that gap. • The first part deals with the mission, and the values and rules pertaining to the governance of the business. These structural elements are fundamental for owners to get right as they pave the way to value creation, or its opposite. They refer to “WHAT” owners have to do. Another element is the formation of the three boards that govern owner-led firms: the owners board, the board of directors, and the management board. • The second part addresses the relational elements that owners must master to effectively manage the social and emotional dynamics in their enterprise. It deals with the “HOW” of ownership, namely the leadership process that lies at the heart of board work. This process ensures alignment across the three boards and also with stakeholders that is vital to realizing owners’ value creating aims. • Thirdly, the book explores the histories, defining experiences, and talents that define owners and shape their enterprise. It concerns the “WHOM,” namely the identities of owners. It explores the diversity of ownership styles and identifies the critical personal transitions owners must make in their leadership quest. This book offers a practical guide for business aiming for value creation. It also should be of interest to directors and executives of all firms with identifiable ownership, such as entrepreneurial, family, state-owned and private equity firms.

Download or read book The Smart Investor s Survival Guide written by Charles Carlson and published by Currency. This book was released on 2002-03-26 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For today’s shell-shocked individual investors, financial expert Charles B. Carlson offers hands-on advice on how to survive — and thrive — in a wildly fluctuating market. The economic recession of the past year, followed by the tragedy of September 11, sent a ripple of panic through investors in 2001. The market shed trillions of dollars in wealth, and hundreds of thousands of individual investors suffered substantial financial losses. The volatility we experienced last year was more than a fluke, argues investment expert Charles B. Carlson. With the ongoing changes in the economy, including changes in corporate reporting laws, instant availability of financial information, and the ability to buy and sell stocks with the touch of a keystroke, volatility is here to stay. But volatility isn’t necessarily a bad thing. In fact, Carlson argues, if you know how to weather today stormy markets, investing in them can be very profitable. In The Smart Investor’s Survival Guide, Carlson shows investors how to make volatility work to their advantage. First, he argues, it is critical that investors match their investment style — growth, value, buy and hold — to the kinds of stocks they pick. For long-term investors, Carlson recommends that a portion of their portfolio be invested in what he calls the calm eye of the storm, “easy hold” stocks that have consistent, steady growth, and very low volatility. Even in the terrible market downturn of 2000, when the Nasdaq lost 39 percent of its value and stocks like Lucent and Cisco saw their share price drop by 80 percent or more, a number of investment sectors actually gained in value. The Dow Jones index, minus its technology stocks, broke even. In other words, even in the worst markets, not every stock or sector goes down. Through what he calls the nine essential laws of successful investing in a volatile market, Carlson reveals: • How to diversify the portfolios across stock sectors and investment vehicles • The critical importance of matching one’s investment style — value, growth, buy and hold — to the kinds of stocks one invests in • The importance of “easy hold” — no-brainer stocks — in a portfolio, stocks that will grow 10 to12 percent a year with minimal volatility. Written by one of the most trusted names in the financial community, The Smart Investor’s Survival Guide shows investors how to master today’s turbulent markets, and profit from them.

Download or read book The Information Content of Stock Splits in the Presence of Contemporaneous Dividend Announcements written by Anand S. Desai and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper, we analyze the information content of stock splits by examining the market's reaction to the joint announcement of both stock splits and cash dividends. Several authors have suggested that splits are merely vehicles to convey information about either dividends or future earnings. If this were the case, one might expect the simultaneous announcement of the dividend to eliminate the marginal informativeness of the split. To the contrary, we find that even after controlling for the information contained in the dividend announcement, splits convey significant information to the market. We also examine whether both dividends and splits are conveying information about the same underlying attribute of firm value, or whether they are jointly providing information about more than one attribute. To study this issue, we employ latent variable/structural equation models. The analysis suggests that there are, in fact, at least two latent variable that are being signalled by the firm. While the information in dividend announcements leads to a statistically significant market revaluation, there is independent information contained in the split signal, and this information is significant in explaining the market's revaluation as well.
Download or read book Corporate Finance for Long Term Value written by Dirk Schoenmaker and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-09-13 with total page 652 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access textbook offers a guide to corporate finance for modern companies that want to create long-term value. Drawing on recent literature on sustainable companies, it starts by analysing the Sustainable Development Goals as a strategy for the transition to a sustainable economy. Next, it translates the general concept of sustainability into core corporate finance methods, such as net present value, company valuation, cost of capital, capital structure and M&A. Current corporate finance textbooks are primarily based on the shareholder model, designed to maximise financial value. This book instead adopts the integrated model, which argues that companies have to serve the interests of their current and future stakeholders. Accordingly, companies move from simply maximising financial value to optimising integrated value, which combines financial, social and environmental value. Applying this new paradigm of integrated value is the truly innovative feature of this textbook. Written for undergraduate and graduate students of Finance, Economics, and Business Administration, this textbook provides a fresh analysis of corporate finance. Combining theory, empirical data and examples from actual companies, it reveals the sustainability challenges for corporate investment and shows how finance can be used to steer funds to sustainable companies and projects and thus accelerate the transition to a sustainable economy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Earnings and Stock Splits The objective of this paper is to examine whether stock splits convey information about firms' earnings in the period surrounding the split announcements. In order to mitigate any confounding effects of simultaneous dividend changes, only firms that do not pay cash dividends at the time of the stock split are included in the sample. Our tests, based on a sample of 121 stock split announcements from the period 1970-1980, lead to several conclusions.
