This book was released on 1999 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study evaluates the relation between security returns and funds-based earnings components. We document that proxies for market expectations of the components that are based on measures of historical serial- and cross-dependencies are substantially more accurate than random-walk proxies. Moreover, we detect significantly higher valuations of the operating cash flow component of earnings, relative to current accruals when market expectations are represented using the dependency-based predictions. Such differential valuation is not detectable for random-walk representations. Contrary to results in Ali (1994), we find incremental information in unexpected cash flows over the whole spectrum (moderate and extreme) of unexpected cash flow realizations.

Download or read book Predicting Future Cash Flow from Operations written by Yuqi Zhao and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper investigates which accounting variable has superior predictive ability for future cash flow: current cash flow from operations, or current earnings. The question is examined in an Australian context for the years 1995 to 2005, on a sample of 350 firms. The question is also examined by industry for the same firms. In most U.S. studies, superior predictions are obtained using current earnings. However, the same result is not expected in Australia, due to the different industrial composition of the economy, and the superiority of cash flow data prepared under Australian accounting standards. Consistent with our expectation, the results indicate that current cash flow from operations has superior predictive ability over current earnings for future cash flow from operations, and also that cash flow from operations has higher incremental information content than current earnings.

Download or read book An Empirical Examination of the Information Content of Ohlson and Aier s Modified Cash Flows written by Samuel Tung and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ohlson and Aier (2009) propose a model of modified cash accounting (MCA) for analyzing and evaluating a firm's cash flows. They suggest that MCA cash earnings provide a better measure of earnings than GAAP's measure, and that the MCA bottom line is more informative because it identifies earnings due to operations on a cash- and approximate cash-equivalent basis. However, there is no empirical test for the information content of MCA cash earnings proposed by Ohlson and Aier (2009). This study empirically examines the incremental information content of MCA cash earnings compared with cash flow from operations (CFO) and GAAP earnings per share (EPS) using stock returns as the benchmark for firms' performance during the 2001-2011 period. We find that MCA cash earnings provide incremental information content beyond CFO and EPS.

Download or read book Earnings Cashflows and Returns written by Peta Stevenson-Clarke and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relation between stock returns, earnings and cashflows is of importance because it directly addresses the issue of whether accounting data provide value relevant information. The empirical evidence to date, however, has documented low explanatory power for earnings and inconclusive incremental information content for cashflows. This research re-evaluates the incremental information content debate using Australian data. Our research is motivated by: recent innovations in research design, including the specification of nonlinear functional relations between accounting variables and prices, and the fact that differences in firm size characteristics may influence the relative information content of the accounting variables. We observe that: (i) a nonlinear functional relation provides greater explanatory power for both earnings and cash flows; (ii) the results are consistent with more transitory earnings components for smaller firms; and (iii) contrary to received theory, cashflows add greater incremental explanatory power for large firms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to examine the information content of accounting earnings and CFO to explain security returns in Tunisian Stock Exchange through the study of their response coefficients and the explanatory power of regression models in the period of 1997 - 2001 (an application of a New Accounting System of Companies). We hypothesis that (i) earnings (CFO) have an incremental information content beyond CFO (earnings) when the two variables are jointly used in return regression, (ii) the response of returns to CFO (earnings) increases (decreases) when earnings is transitory, (iii) security returns response to both earnings and (CFO) will be higher (lower) for high (low) growth firms and (iv) the security returns response to accounting earnings (CFO) are weaker (higher) for large (small) firms. We have introduced market-to-book ratio and market value of equity as additional variables in regression models and as proxies of growth and firm size. Results can not affirm that CFO plays a more important role in marketplace when earnings are transitory. Results in relation to earnings growth and firm size hypothesis show that CFO can join Market-to-Book ratio and market value of equity as proxy of risk.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the primary economic issues is associated with optimum resource allocation in profitable investments with reasonable risk. For this purpose, performance measurement's criteria are needed some of which emphasize cash flow variables and some others focus on information content of accounting profit. On this basis, this study examines the relationship between earnings before tax and interest and operational cash flows with stockholders' return in Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE). In this regard, information asymmetry was also examined. To test hypotheses, multivariable regression and combined data method were used. The results showed that based on the information of 102 companies in stock market from 2004 to 2009, there was a positive and significant correlation between earnings before interest and tax and stock return in the companies. While, operational cash flow has no significant impact on stock return. Increasing information asymmetry, earnings before interest and tax has a positive and significant correlation with stockholders 'return; but operational cash flow has no significant effect on stockholders' return. In other words, earnings before interest and tax have higher information content than operational cash flow.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I examine the value relevance of earnings measures based on generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) relative to non-GAAP earnings measures using six earnings measures: I/B/E/S earnings; Standard & Poor's Core earnings; cash earnings; cash flows from operations; earnings from operations adjusted to exclude special items; and income before extraordinary items. I adopt the Ohlson (1995; 1999) valuation model to test value relevance and a cumulative abnormal returns model to test the information content of these alternative earnings measures. Prior studies consistently show non-GAAP earnings are significantly more value relevant than GAAP earnings (Bradshaw and Sloan, 2002; Bhattacharya et al., 2003; Brown and Sivakumar, 2003; Albring et al., 2010) and that information risk is priced by investors (Easley and O'Hara, 2004) Therefore, factors that impact on information risk, such as, information asymmetry, earnings quality and conservatism, may affect the value relevance of GAAP and non-GAAP earnings. However, prior studies do not examine the impact of these factors on the relative and incremental value relevance GAAP versus non-GAAP earnings. I separately control and test for the impact of information asymmetry, earnings quality and conservatism on the comparative value relevance of GAAP and non-GAAP earnings. Furthermore, I argue that firm size may impact on the value relevance of GAAP and non-GAAP earnings. In addition, industry may have an effect on the value relevance of earnings, particularly for firms in the financial sector because of their capital structure and regulatory environment. However, prior studies do not investigate the impact of financial and non-financial firms and of size on the value relevance and informativeness of GAAP and non-GAAP earnings. I consider these issues by separately analysing samples of financial, non-financial, S&P 500 and non-S&P 500 firms. Prior studies generally present evidence from before the GFC and there is no published research on the value relevance of these earnings metrics that examine the impact of the GFC. Therefore, I examine the impact of the GFC on the value relevance of GAAP and non-GAAP earnings measures before, during and after the GFC. Additionally, prior research focuses on GAAP earnings and pro forma or I/B/E/S earnings. As mentioned above, I use six earnings measures. My sample is drawn from US publicly traded firms between 2002 and 2012. My results indicate that GAAP earnings are incrementally value relevant and that non-GAAP earnings are not consistently more value relevant than GAAP earnings. I find evidence that information asymmetry, earnings quality and conservatism are systematically related to the comparative value relevance of GAAP and non-GAAP earnings. I also find that sample selection impacts on the findings. In addition, investors shift their emphasis on GAAP and non-GAAP earnings over time as a consequence of the GFC and investors generally place greater emphasis on the book value of equity in pricing shares. My findings highlight the fluid nature of the relative emphasis investors place on alternative earnings measures. They provide insights on the impact of information asymmetry, earnings quality and conservatism, and of the GFC on the emphasis investors place on earnings information.
