Download or read book The Order Submission Behaviors Surrounding Open Market Repurchase Announcements written by Chaoshin Chiao and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper highlights a concern for a link possibly missing in the traditional justification of the signaling hypothesis of open-market repurchases (OMRs). To recover the missing link, we employ the order-level data for the Taiwan stock market to contrast the order submission behaviors among different groups of investors surrounding OMR announcements - who trade the repurchased stocks and how they trade them. As a result, only from the standpoint of price behavior, OMR announcements are reliable signals to which the price reactions of those stocks are favorable. However, the observed order submission behaviors among most investors contradict the essence of the signaling hypothesis.
Download or read book An Analysis of Repurchase Behavior in Open Market Stock Buyback Programs written by Tony Altobelli and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Boards of directors authorize billions of dollars in open market (OM) stock buybacks each year, but little is known about how many shares are actually repurchased. This paper analyses the repurchase behavior of firms that announce OM buyback programs. We find that OM announcements are credible signals. On average, firms repurchase more shares than originally authorized over the four quarters following the announcement, though there is considerable variation across firms. We examine the factors influencing repurchase behavior, and find that repurchases in a given quarter are associated with a number of variables, including past and current returns, profitability, and prior repurchase activity. We also investigate how shares outstanding change following OM program announcements. Firms in our sample actively issue shares over the test period so that the average decrease in shares outstanding is only about 20% of the number repurchased. For the most part, changes in shares are influenced by the same factors affecting repurchases and in the predicted direction.

Download or read book Digital and Social Media Marketing written by Nripendra P. Rana and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-11 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines issues and implications of digital and social media marketing for emerging markets. These markets necessitate substantial adaptations of developed theories and approaches employed in the Western world. The book investigates problems specific to emerging markets, while identifying new theoretical constructs and practical applications of digital marketing. It addresses topics such as electronic word of mouth (eWOM), demographic differences in digital marketing, mobile marketing, search engine advertising, among others.

These technologies are also being harnessed by businesses for various purposes including distribution and selling of goods, retailing of consumer services, customer relationship management, and influencing consumer behaviour by employing digital marketing practices. This book considers this, as it examines the practice and research related to digital and social media marketing.

Download or read book Corporate Payout Policy written by Harry DeAngelo and published by Now Publishers Inc. This book was released on 2009 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corporate Payout Policy synthesizes the academic research on payout policy and explains "how much, when, and how". That is (i) the overall value of payouts over the life of the enterprise, (ii) the time profile of a firm's payouts across periods, and (iii) the form of those payouts. The authors conclude that today's theory does a good job of explaining the general features of corporate payout policies, but some important gaps remain. So while our emphasis is to clarify "what we know" about payout policy, the authors also identify a number of interesting unresolved questions for future research. Corporate Payout Policy discusses potential influences on corporate payout policy including managerial use of payouts to signal future earnings to outside investors, individuals' behavioral biases that lead to sentiment-based demands for distributions, the desire of large block stockholders to maintain corporate control, and personal tax incentives to defer payouts. The authors highlight four important "carry-away" points: the literature's focus on whether repurchases will (or should) drive out dividends is misplaced because it implicitly assumes that a single payout vehicle is optimal; extant empirical evidence is strongly incompatible with the notion that the primary purpose of dividends is to signal managers' views of future earnings to outside investors; over-confidence on the part of managers is potentially a first-order determinant of payout policy because it induces them to over-retain resources to invest in dubious projects and so behavioral biases may, in fact, turn out to be more important than agency costs in explaining why investors pressure firms to accelerate payouts; the influence of controlling stockholders on payout policy --- particularly in non-U.S. firms, where controlling stockholders are common --- is a promising area for future research. Corporate Payout Policy is required reading for both researchers and practitioners interested in understanding this central topic in corporate finance and governance.
