Book excerpt: We define a delayed disclosure ratio (DD) as the fraction of 10-Q financial statement items that are withheld at the earlier quarterly earnings announcement. We find that higher DD firms have a greater delay in investor and analyst response to earnings surprises: (i) the fraction of total market reaction to quarterly earnings news realized around the earnings announcement (after the 10-Q filing) is smaller (greater), and (ii) analysts are more likely to defer issuing forecasts from immediately after the earnings announcement to after the 10-Q filing. Consistent with our limited attention model predictions, the response catch-up associated with DD is incomplete even after the delayed items are fully disclosed at the 10-Q filing date, and persists until the next earnings announcement date. The return reaction to earnings news over the entire quarter does not vary with DD, so differences in earnings informativeness do not explain the DD effect. Our findings suggest that, for limited attention effects to be mitigated, the timing of disclosures must be coincident with the focal periods--at earnings announcement dates--when investors and analysts are paying the most attention.
Download or read book The Impact of Earnings Announcement Timing to Technical Analysis Signal written by Dedhy Sulistiawan and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study discusses about technical analysis signal and earnings-announcements timing. Technical analysis signal is used to capture price reaction around earnings announcements. Technical analysis is selected because it is competing information to fundamental information (Flanegin and Rudd 2005), especially in emerging market (Fifield et al., 2005). The longer reporting lag will result a tendency of bigger information leakage which make price reaction before announcements are stronger. That reaction produces a reliable technical analysis signal. By using Indonesian stock market data, the results show that (1) technical analysis signal generate bigger (lower) return for late (earlier) reporting, and (2) reporting lag positively affect to the performance of technical analysis signal that emerge before annual earnings announcements, especially in “buy signal” sample. These findings also indicate a tendency of bigger information leakage for companies that delay earnings announcements. This study contributes to build a bridge between technical analysis and earnings-announcement timing studies.

Download or read book The Effect of Institutional Ownership on the Timing of Earnings Announcements written by Silver Chung and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Managers have substantial discretion in when to announce earnings during the day. While the prior literature has shown that the timing of announcements during the day can affect the stock market's reaction to earnings news, there is either mixed or weak empirical evidence on why a manager chooses a certain time of the day to announce earnings. In this paper, I examine whether institutional ownership affects firms' decisions to announce earnings after hours (AH). AH are largely dominated by institutional investors who better understand the implications of earnings news for firm value and stock prices. I argue that firms with greater institutional ownership announce earnings AH to promote institutional investors' trading, and therefore facilitate post-announcement price discovery and reduce price volatility. Using the annual reconstitution of the Russell 1000 and 2000 indexes which provides plausibly exogenous variation in institutional ownership, I find that firms with higher institutional ownership are more likely to announce earnings during an aftermarket session (i.e., AH after the market closes), but not during a premarket session (i.e., AH before the market opens). My analysis further shows that transient institutional ownership has a stronger influence on the likelihood of after-market announcements relative to quasi-indexer and dedicated institutional holdings, and that the effect of institutional ownership on the announcement timing is more pronounced when firms have bad earnings news or large transitory earnings components. Lastly, I find that announcing earnings during an after-market session indeed facilitates the post-announcement price discovery and reduces price volatility for firms with greater institutional ownership. Collectively, my findings suggest that institutional ownership influences firms' earnings announcement timing decisions"--Pages vii-viii.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stock market, according to the efficient market hypothesis, is informationally efficient in that prices instantly reflect all available public information. Prior financial literature on the study of the relationship between earnings announcements and their effect on the stock market reveals that there is a significant "drift" of a firm's cumulative abnormal return that occurs in the direction of its earnings surprise. This phenomenon is in contrast to how the efficient market hypothesis would expect the market to react to this new information. The prior studies on this topic were conducted in the 1980s - before the existence of both high-speed access to news via cell phone alerts and the increasing ability to trade quickly on new information via online brokers. This study attempts to test this "post-earnings announcement drift" on the current market to see if this phenomenon is still relevant in today's market and to see if it can be exploited. This study finds that there is still a post-earnings announcement drift that persists for the twenty-one days following earnings announcements. The cumulative abnormal returns continue to drift upwards for "good news" firms and continue to drift downwards for "bad news" firms for twenty-one days and may continue in the same direction after this period. This study also finds that a trading strategy that involves forming long portfolios of firms that beat earnings by the greatest magnitude (most positive earnings surprise) and also have the largest abnormal return on the day of the announcement and forming a short portfolio of firms that miss estimates by the greatest magnitude (most negative earnings surprise) and have the most negative abnormal return on the day of the announcement had an average annualized return of 20.343% over the ten year period starting in 2004 while the S & P 500 had an average annualized return of 9.1% over the same period.

Download or read book The Mind of Wall Street written by Leon Levy and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2009-03-25 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As stock prices and investor confidence have collapsed in the wake of Enron, WorldCom, and the dot-com crash, people want to know how this happened and how to make sense of the uncertain times to come. Into the breach comes one of Wall Street's legendary investors, Leon Levy, to explain why the market so often confounds us, and why those who ought to understand it tend to get chewed up and spat out. Levy, who pioneered many of the innovations and investment instruments that we now take for granted, has prospered in every market for the past fifty years, particularly in today's bear market. In The Mind of Wall Street he recounts stories of his successes and failures to illustrate how investor psychology and willful self-deception so often play critical roles in the process. Like his peers George Soros and Warren Buffett, Levy takes a long and broad view of the rhythms of the markets and the economy. He also offers a provocative analysis of the spectacular Internet bubble, showing that the market has not yet completely recovered from its bout of "irrational exuberance." The Mind of Wall Street is essential reading for all of us, whether we are active traders or simply modest contributors to our 401(k) plans, as volatile and unnerving markets come to define so much of our net worth.

Download or read book Earnings Quality written by Jennifer Francis and published by Now Publishers Inc. This book was released on 2008 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This review lays out a research perspective on earnings quality. We provide an overview of alternative definitions and measures of earnings quality and a discussion of research design choices encountered in earnings quality research. Throughout, we focus on a capital markets setting, as opposed, for example, to a contracting or stewardship setting. Our reason for this choice stems from the view that the capital market uses of accounting information are fundamental, in the sense of providing a basis for other uses, such as stewardship. Because resource allocations are ex ante decisions while contracting/stewardship assessments are ex post evaluations of outcomes, evidence on whether, how and to what degree earnings quality influences capital market resource allocation decisions is fundamental to understanding why and how accounting matters to investors and others, including those charged with stewardship responsibilities. Demonstrating a link between earnings quality and, for example, the costs of equity and debt capital implies a basic economic role in capital allocation decisions for accounting information; this role has only recently been documented in the accounting literature. We focus on how the precision of financial information in capturing one or more underlying valuation-relevant constructs affects the assessment and use of that information by capital market participants. We emphasize that the choice of constructs to be measured is typically contextual. Our main focus is on the precision of earnings, which we view as a summary indicator of the overall quality of financial reporting. Our intent in discussing research that evaluates the capital market effects of earnings quality is both to stimulate further research in this area and to encourage research on related topics, including, for example, the role of earnings quality in contracting and stewardship.
Download or read book Handbook of Corporate Finance written by Bjørn Espen Eckbo and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2007-05-21 with total page 559 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Judging by the sheer number of papers reviewed in this Handbook, the empirical analysis of firms’ financing and investment decisions—empirical corporate finance—has become a dominant field in financial economics. The growing interest in everything “corporate is fueled by a healthy combination of fundamental theoretical developments and recent widespread access to large transactional data bases. A less scientific—but nevertheless important—source of inspiration is a growing awareness of the important social implications of corporate behavior and governance. This Handbook takes stock of the main empirical findings to date across an unprecedented spectrum of corporate finance issues, ranging from econometric methodology, to raising capital and capital structure choice, and to managerial incentives and corporate investment behavior. The surveys are written by leading empirical researchers that remain active in their respective areas of interest. With few exceptions, the writing style makes the chapters accessible to industry practitioners. For doctoral students and seasoned academics, the surveys offer dense roadmaps into the empirical research landscape and provide suggestions for future work. *The Handbooks in Finance series offers a broad group of outstanding volumes in various areas of finance *Each individual volume in the series should present an accurate self-contained survey of a sub-field of finance *The series is international in scope with contributions from field leaders the world over
