Book excerpt: We analyze a sample of stock splits and reverse stock splits on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong (SEHK) over the period 1986 through 1992. Consistent with studies on stock splits and reverse stock splits made in the U.S. capital markets, our analysis shows that stock splits are associated with a positive and significant stock market response whilst reverse stock splits are associated with a negative but statistically insignificant price effect. We also investigate the quot;optimal price rangequot; hypothesis which states that firms choose the split factor (SF) as a device to return the stock price to a quot;preferred price rangequot;. Our result suggests a positive relation between the magnitude of the SF and the deviation of the pre-split stock price from the historical price level in the stock split sample. However, we do not find a systematic pattern affecting the use of the SF in the reverse split sample.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stock splits have attracted the attention of academicians and practitioners for a long time. Many debates revolve around these often called "cosmetic” events that do not bring about any direct valuation implications. In spite of their simplicity and theoretically no motivation for any potential reaction this corporate event exerts influence on various stock's characteristics like liquidity, rates of return, shareholders' base etc. Considering the time period 2000-May 2011 the author examines the behavior of share volume following the stock splits of companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange and reports a 1-percent significant deterioration of this proxy of liquidity. Additionally, the greatest amplitude of abnormal changes in liquidity is observed during two trading sessions around the actual stock split although there is provided no new information to the market through the physical split of the shares outstanding since it is well-known in advance. The results obtained are indicative of the fact that splitting the stock as opposed to liquidity and/or trading range hypotheses on splits leads to liquidity deterioration what, in turn, should result in greater liquidity risk faced inter alia by brokers and/or market makers who may be willing to compensate for this unfavorable corollary of the corporate event at issue and, as a result, to charge higher transaction costs in the form of e.g. greater bid-ask spreads. On the other hand, shareholders, both existing and prospective, are likely to demand higher compensation for increased risk by requiring greater returns on such stocks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stock splits are a relatively new phenomenon in the Indian context. This paper examines the market effect of stock splits on stock price, return, volatility, and trading volume around the split ex-dates for a sample of stock splits undertaken in the Indian stock market over the period 1999-2005. The traditional view of stock splits as cosmetic transactions that simply divide the same pie into more slices is inconsistent with the significant wealth effect associated with the announcement of a stock split. However, the empirical evidence confirms a negative effect on price and return of stock splits. The overall cumulative abnormal returns after the split are negative. These results suggest that stock splits have induced the market to revise its optimistic valuation about future firm performance, rejecting signaling hypothesis to which splits convey positive information to markets. Hence, stock splits have reduced the wealth of the shareholders. The results also show that presence of a positive effect on volatility and trading volume following the split events, thus suggesting that split events enhance liquidity.

This book was released on 2011-08 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject Business economics - Banking, Stock Exchanges, Insurance, Accounting, grade: 1,3, Humboldt-University of Berlin (Institut für Bank und Börsenwesen), course: Seminar of Banking and Financial Markets, language: English, abstract: There are many theories in literature which try to examine possible reasons for a stock split. While a stock split seems to be just a cosmetic corporate event, it is often claimed that the motivation to carry out a stock split is to signal future profitability or to bring the share price to a preferred trading-range. Additionally there are many papers published, where the impact of a stock split on liquidity and institutional ownership is examined. Some results of these studies are briefly discussed in the Literature Review. Most researchers calculate their abnormal returns with the market model by using the most common index in their economy. In this paper, I check whether sector-indices fit the data better than the CDAX does. In some cases, the sector-indices describe the stock returns better. Another topic of event studies that researchers of the finance area often deal with is whether the assumptions of the market model established by Fama, Fisher, Jensen and Roll (1969) do hold for daily stock returns. I will discuss some of the weaknesses when applied to financial time series and I present two models which can improve the efficiency of the model.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I use event date methodology to examine the market reaction to reverse stock splits in Hong Kong market from 1991 to 2001. I first investigate the prospectuses distributed by reverse-splitting firms. Four major reasons are provided in firms' prospectuses: 1. Reverse splits will reduce transaction costs for dealings in the consolidated shares; 2. Reverse splits will improve the flexibility in pricing new issue when needed; 3. Share consolidation should raise the profile of the company among institutional and international investors; 4. Directors believe there exists a favorable stock price range, and reverse splits are therefore be used to bring the market value of the shares into a range that the firms consider more appropriate. I find that the abnormal returns around the announcement date are negative and small firms have stronger negative reaction. This result is consistent with the event studies in the U.S. market [Lamoureux and Poon (1987), Peterson and Peterson (1992)]. However, this negative response is contrary to the results in Canada where market reacts positively with a cumulative abnormal return of 9.3 percent on the announcement date that is thereafter maintained [Masse et al. (1997)]. No significant market response to the ex-date is observed. The adjusted trading volume increases considerably after reverse splits. This result partially suggests that the reverse stock improve the liquidity of the stock. The majority of the reverse-splitting firms do not change their board lot size after splits, they therefore reduce transacting costs. The relative tick sizes, which also affect the transaction cost, decrease significantly after splitting. My analysis of the cross-sectional distribution of the split factor provides no support for the quot;optimal stock price rangequot; hypothesis. Hence, the reverse stock splits can be viewed as a passive reaction to a decayed firm performance rather than an active means to achieve a specific objective.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract It is often asserted that stock splits and stock dividends are purely cosmetic events. However, many studies have documented several stock market effects associated with stock splits and stock dividends. This paper examines the effects of these two types of events for the Danish stock market. Consistent with the existing literature, the two events are associated with a significantly positive announcement effect of ap- proximately 2.5%. However, when examining the two events more carefully, several important results are obtained. First, a firm's motivation for announcing the two events is completely different. Second, the positive stock market reaction is closely related to associated changes in a firm's payout policy, but the relationship varies for the two types of events. Finally, there is only very weak evidence for a change in the liquidity of the stock. On the whole, after controlling for the firm's payout policy, the results suggest that a stock split is a cosmetic event and that a stock dividend on its own is considered negative news. Key words: Stock splits; Stock dividends; Cash dividends; Signaling; Liquidity.

Book excerpt: Extending an empirical technique developed in Easley, Kiefer, and O'Hara (1996, 1997a), we examine different hypotheses about stock splits. In line with the trading range hypothesis, we find that stock splits attract uninformed traders. However, we also find that informed trading increases, resulting in no appreciable change in the information content of trades. Therefore, we do not find evidence consistent with the hypothesis that stock splits reduce information asymmetries. The optimal tick size hypothesis predicts that stock splits attract limit order trading and this enhances the execution quality of trades. While we find an increase in the number of executed limit orders, their effect is overshadowed by the increase in the costs of executing market orders due to the larger percentage spreads. On balance, the uninformed investors' overall trading costs rise after stock splits.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An unusually high number of Nasdaq National Market stocks were reverse split following the decline in Nasdaq prices in the year 2000. We test whether these splits were driven by the overall market decline. We find that the performance of stocks with reverse splits in poor overall stock market conditions is better (less negative) than that in good market conditions, and that the differences in performance appear three to five months after the split. This suggests that the longer-term outcomes of reverse stock splits are associated with the market environment at the time of the split. In view of this, changes that Nasdaq made to relax some of its listing standards are well justified.
