Book excerpt: This study examines the effects of the method of payment, change in leverage, and management equity ownership on the acquiring firm's stock returns around the initial announcement date of the merger. Results indicate that stockholders of mergers financed with stocks suffer significant losses. These losses are larger when management ownership is low and smaller in mergers that resulted in acquiring firm leverage decreases. Stockholders of acquiring firms involved in cash mergers gain significant abnormal returns, provided that acquiring firms increase their leverage and that managerial ownership is high. When management equity ownership is low, leverage has no effect on stock returns. When management ownership is high, mergers which resulted in acquiring firm leverage increases have significant positive effects, and those which resulted in acquiring firm leverage decreases have negative but insignificant effects.

Book Synopsis What Do Returns to Acquiring Firms Tell Us? Evidence from Firms that Make Many Acquisitions by : Kathleen P. Fuller
Download or read book What Do Returns to Acquiring Firms Tell Us? Evidence from Firms that Make Many Acquisitions written by Kathleen P. Fuller and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We study shareholder returns for firms that acquired five or more public, private, and/or subsidiary targets within a short time period. Since the same bidder chooses different types of targets and methods of payment, any variation in returns must be due to the characteristics of the target and the bid. Results indicate bidder shareholders gain when buying a private firm or subsidiary but lose when purchasing a public firm. Further, the return is greater the larger the target and if the bidder offers stock. These results are consistent with a liquidity discount, and tax and control effects in this market.

Download or read book Impact of Merger and Acquisitions on Stock Returns written by Dr. Amir Rafique and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mergers and acquisition are not only related to accounting measures of performance of firms but it also affects the wealth of shareholders either positively or negatively. According to Hubris hypothesis, the merger and acquisition announcement brings negative effect to shareholders wealth and decreases the abnormal return in post period. The present study took this analysis separate for long and short run period. To capture immediate effect on shareholders return study used Market Model to calculate abnormal returns and employed the t-test on it to check the significant differences in two sample data set. Out of 12 cases of M&A eight mergers showed negative abnormal returns for post period with statistical significance at 1% level, two at 5% and two acquiring firms reduced returns were not statistically significant. Overall on the basis of most of M&A results, the study concluded consistent results with earlier studies. The long run analysis employed by using Ohlson (1995) model for firm value with introducing dummy variable for the pre and post period. The results indicated coefficient of dummy for merger was -0.52 with statistical significance at 1% level which is demonstrating negative effect on share price which ultimately reduces the returns. The study concluded that merger and acquisition announcement bring negative effect on shareholders return either for short run or long time period.

This book was released on 2017-12-21 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Corporate Investments in Common Stock This paper examines corporate acquisitions of another company's common stock that were reported to the sec during the years 1978 through 1980. Common stock returns of both the acquiring and target firms are analyzed around the date of the earliest published report that an ownership position of 52 or more of the target firm's common stock has been or will be taken. In addition, common stock returns are examined around important events subsequent to the initial announcement date as well as around the final outcome of the investment. The stock returns at the initial announcement, the final outcome and the intervening events are summed to estimate the acquiring and target firm's returns from the investment activity. A great deal of research and public attention has been devoted in recent years to corporate acquisitions of common stock that are attempts to acquire control of another firm.1 We find, however, that purchases of common stock through tender offers and mergers represent a minority of corporate investments in common stock. The expected payoffs for a majority of corporate investments appears to be the direct returns from security ownership, dividends and price appreciation, rather than cash flows or other benefits from exercising control over the activities of another firm. This study, therefore, broadens the view of corporate purchases of common stock, and examines a range of investment strategies and outcomes.

Book Synopsis The Synergy Trap by : Mark L. Sirower
Download or read book The Synergy Trap written by Mark L. Sirower and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-05-11 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With acquisition activity running into the trillions of dollars, it continues to be a favorite for corporate growth strategy, but creating shareholder value remains the most elusive outcome of these corporate strategies—after decades of research and billions of dollars paid in advisory fees, why do these major decisions continue to destroy value? Building on his groundbreaking research first cited in Business Week, Mark L. Sirower explains how companies often pay too much—and predictably never realize the promises of increased performance and competitiveness—in their quest to acquire other companies. Armed with extensive evidence, Sirower destroys the popular notion that the acquisition premium represents potential value. He provides the first formal and functional definition for synergy -- the specific increases in performance beyond those already expected for companies to achieve independently. Sirower's refreshing nuts-and-bolts analysis of the fundamentals behind acquisition performance cuts sharply through the existing folklore surrounding failed acquisitions, such as lack of "strategic fit" or corporate culture problems, and gives managers the tools to avoid predictable losses in acquisition decisions. Using several detailed examples of recent major acquisitions and through his masterful integration and extension of techniques from finance and business strategy, Sirower reveals: -The unique business gamble that acquisitions represent -The managerial challenges already embedded in current stock prices -The competitive conditions that must be met and the organizational cornerstones that must be in place for any possibility of synergy -The precise Required Performance Improvements (RPIs) implicitly embedded in acquisition premiums and the reasons why these RPIs normally dwarf realistic performance gains -The seductiveness and danger of sophisticated valuation models so often used by advisers The Synergy Trap is the first exposé of its kind to prove that the tendency of managers to succumb to the "up the ante" philosophy in acquisitions often leads to disastrous ends for their shareholders. Sirower shows that companies must meticulously plan—and account for huge uncertainties—before deciding to enter the acquisition game. To date, Sirower's work is the most comprehensive and rigorous, yet practical, analysis of the drivers of acquisition performance. This definitive book will become required reading for managers, corporate directors, consultants, investors, bankers, and academics involved in the mergers and acquisitions arena.
Book Synopsis The Impact of Merger and Acquisition Activities on Corporate Performance Measured on an Accounting and Market Base by : Malwina Woznik

This book was released on 2013-08-07 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2013 in the subject Business economics - Controlling, grade: 1,3, University of Cologne (Seminar für allgemeine BWL und Controlling), language: English, abstract: “Warren Buffett swallows Heinz: Sauce for the sage” – a typical takeover announcement was published lately on 14th February 2013. Warren Buffett, a well known inves tor, acquired along with the financial investor 3G Capital the H. J. Heinz Company for $ 28 billion. This is likely to become the largest transaction in the food industry. The company's stock price rose more than 20.0 percent after the publication which is a very characteristic reaction to deal announcements. Hence, the important question is, if transactions, such as the takeover of the H. J. Heinz Company, affect the corporate performance consistently. In general, the core idea about mergers and acquisitions (M&A) is to generate additional future growth if for example organic growth is limited. If two companies merge or a target is bought by another company (the acquirer), shareholders believe in synergy effects. These are revenue enhancements, cost reductions, tax gains and reduced capital requirements leading to business growth and thus to a higher value of the new company. However, it is questionable if this theory can also be experienced in the real world. Ever since the effects of M&A have been analysed, the market of the United States (US) was used as data source. This is plausible due to the fact that the very first information was well recorded for US companies. It is remarkable that literature contributes very little research on Europe, although the number of announced European transactions is comparable to those of the US. For example, in 2007 the European deals volume overtook the one from the United States of America (USA) for the first time. Moreover, research on single European countries almost never exists or only rarely. One exception is the United Kingdom (UK) with an early takeover history beginning in the 1960s. However, European countries should be analysed separately because of its high diversity regarding the accounting framework, the corporate governance or the legal and regulation structure. For instance, Germany is characterised by conservative accounting principles and a high regulation by the banking sector. These issues may also influence the M&A decision making process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive guide to the world of mergers and acquisitions Why do so many M&A transactions fail? And what drives the success of those deals that are consummated? Robert Bruner explains that M&A can be understood as a response by managers to forces of turbulence in their environment.

By addressing the key factors of M&A success and failure, Applied Mergers and Acquisitions can help readers do this. Written by one of the foremost thinkers and educators in the field, this invaluable resource teaches readers the art and science of M&A valuation, deal negotiation, and bargaining, and provides a framework for considering tradeoffs in an effort to optimize the value of any M&A deal.

Book Synopsis Acquiring Firm Long-term Performance and Governance Characteristics by : Jonathan Paul Breazeale
Download or read book Acquiring Firm Long-term Performance and Governance Characteristics written by Jonathan Paul Breazeale and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I examine the market reaction to merger announcements and the long-term post-merger stock price performance of newly merged firms. For a sample of 484 acquiring firms completing mergers between 1993 and 2000, the average value-weighted abnormal announcement date return (market-adjusted) is a statistically significant -1.02%. On average, this reaction is more negative for firms with "good governance." Specifically, a governance index comprised of three governance variables is significantly negative in a multivariate regression of announcement date abnormal returns. Comp is the percentage of CEO salary consisting of equity incentives (including stock options and restricted stock grants), InsideOwn is the percentage of the firm owned by officers and directors, and InstOwn is the percentage of the firm owned by large outside block shareholders. Value-weighted calendar-time portfolios consisting of the full sample of acquirers exhibit significant abnormal returns of 9.12%, 33.84% and 55.8% for the 12, 36 and 60 months following the merger, respectively. This overperformance is limited to the value-weighted portfolios. There is calendar-time evidence of abnormal performance for some subsamples on a risk adjusted basis. However, when compared to a control group, abnormal performance is limited to large glamour acquirers on a 12-month horizon, large cash acquirers on a 36 and 60-month horizon, and small focusing acquirers on a 60-month horizon. Multivariate analysis of long-run returns reveals that use of equity and corporate diversification are associated with lower post-merger performance. With regard to governance and long-run stock returns, there is also evidence that suggests higher levels of incentive compensation for CEOs is associated with more successful merger transactions for long-term investors.
Book Synopsis Market Reaction to Social Performance of Acquiring Firms by : Tze-Yu Yen
Download or read book Market Reaction to Social Performance of Acquiring Firms written by Tze-Yu Yen and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study performs a cross-country comparison by examining the large samples of merger and acquisition (M&A) activity in emerging markets (EMs). The underlying purpose is to investigate how market investors react to the M&A deals conducted by acquiring firms with different degrees of corporate social responsibility (CSR) involvements under different quality of firm-level governance mechanisms and country-level legal systems. We find that a nonlinear relationship exists between the CSR performance of acquiring firms and the abnormal announcement returns, indicating that neither the stakeholder theory nor shareholder theory stand-alone can explain the effects of CSR performance on market reactions. Investors' perceptions of cost-benefit effects regarding the activities and the degree of CSR involvement decide the CSR effects. Furthermore, we determine that the CSR effects on the deal announcement returns are affected by the differing levels of governance quality. This evidence supports that the cost concerns of EM investors regarding CSR involvement mainly arise from agency problems which could be eased by legal or governance systems. This study also proposes an argument disputing the conclusions of prior research in which emerging countries are considered together and collectively viewed as examples of weak governance quality.
Book Synopsis Mergers and Acquisitions by : David R. King
Download or read book Mergers and Acquisitions written by David R. King and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-30 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The process of identifying and evaluating a target firm, completing a deal after its negotiation and announcement, and then integrating a target firm after legal combination is a multi-year process with uncertain returns to acquiring firms. Research on mergers and acquisitions (M&As) is progressing rapidly yet it remains fragmented across multiple research perspectives that largely examine different acquisition phases separately and coincide with a focus on different research variables. As a result, research fragmentation means that a researcher in one area may be unaware of research from related areas that is likely relevant. This contributes to research silos with M&A research displaying different traditions, starting points, and assumptions. Mergers and Acquisitions: A Research Overview summarizes the frontier in M&A research and provides insights into where it can be expanded. It undertakes the needed integration and reconciliation of research in order to derive practical knowledge for managing acquisitions from beginning to end, providing a summary of what is known and its implications for future research. This concise overview reconciles and integrates the state of the art in our understanding of mergers and acquisitions, providing an essential first stopping point in the research journey of students and scholars working in this area.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper, we investigate the long-term stock return performance of Canadian acquiring firms in the post event period by using 1300 Mamp;A events between 1993-2002 period. We use both event-time and calendar-time approach and conduct robustness tests for benchmarks, methodological choices, statistical techniques and other related factors such as payment methods. We also assess the role of governance variables. Contrary to stylized facts reported in the U.S. studies, we do not find negative abnormal long-term abnormal returns for the acquirer following an acquisition event.
