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.

Book Synopsis The Effect of Stock Splits on Liquidity and Excess Returns by : Patrick J. Dennis
Download or read book The Effect of Stock Splits on Liquidity and Excess Returns written by Patrick J. Dennis and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We examine the influence of firm ownership composition on both the abnormal returns at the announcement of a stock split and liquidity changes following a stock split. We find three results. First, the largest post-split increase in institutional ownership occurs for firms that had low institutional ownership before the split. Second, changes in liquidity are negatively related to the level of institutional ownership before the split. Last, the abnormal return following a split is negatively related to the level of institutional ownership before the split. These findings are important as they shed new light on the source of stock split announcement returns.
Book Synopsis A stock split event study using sector-indices vs. CDAX and some extensions of the standard market model by : David Bosch
Download or read book A stock split event study using sector-indices vs. CDAX and some extensions of the standard market model written by David Bosch and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2011-08-03 with total page 23 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.
Book Synopsis Changes in Trading Patterns Following Stock Splits and Their Impact on Market Microstructure by : Anand S. Desai
Download or read book Changes in Trading Patterns Following Stock Splits and Their Impact on Market Microstructure written by Anand S. Desai and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We reexamine the impact of stock splits on the volatility and liquidity of the stock. We develop a model of trading where the number of informed traders and changes in the volatility and liquidity are endogenously determined by changes in the number of noise traders. Our empirical evidence suggests that the increase in volatility after stock splits cannot be totally attributed to microstructure biases due to the bid-ask bounce and price discreetness. A significant fraction of the increase in volatility is due to an increase in the number of both noise and informed trades. Also consistent with our model's predictions, we find that the stock's liquidity worsens when the number of noise trades either declines or increases by a small amount. On the other hand, liquidity improves for large increases in noise trades, which is consistent with the managerial motive for stock splits. A crucial determinant of the increase in noise trades is the release of positive information to the market soon after the announcement of the split.
Book Synopsis The Market Reaction to Stock Splits - Evidence from India by : Asim Mishra
Download or read book The Market Reaction to Stock Splits - Evidence from India written by Asim Mishra and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. 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.
Book Synopsis The Impact of Clientele Changes by : Ravi Dhar
Download or read book The Impact of Clientele Changes written by Ravi Dhar and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We examine the trades of individual and professional investors around stock splits and find that splits bring about a significant shift in investor clientele. We find that a higher fraction of post-split trades are made by less sophisticated investors, as individual investors increase and professional investors reduce their aggregate buying activity following stock splits. This behavior supports the common practitioners' belief that stock splits help attract new investors and improve stock liquidity. The shift in clientele also influences return properties, price discovery, and asset prices: stocks exhibit stronger serial correlation after splits; stocks co-move more with the market index; and the introduction of new investors explains part of the positive post-split drift puzzle.
Book Synopsis The Market Reaction to Stock Splits - Evidence from Germany by : Christian Wulff
Download or read book The Market Reaction to Stock Splits - Evidence from Germany written by Christian Wulff and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper investigates the market reaction to stock splits, using a set of German firms. Similar to the findings in the U.S., I find significant positive abnormal returns around boththe announcement and the execution day of German stock splits. I also observe an increase in return variance and in liquidity after the ex-day. Apparently, legal restrictions strongly limit the ability of German companies to use a stock split for signaling. I find that abnormal returns around the announcement day are consistently much lower in Germany than in the U.S. Further, I find that abnormal returns around the announcement day are not related to changes in liquidity, but (negatively) to firm size, thus lending support to the neglected firm hypothesis. On the methodological side the effect of thin trading on event study results is examined. Using trade-to-trade returns increases the significance of abnormal returns, but the difference between alternative return measurement methods is relatively small in short event periods. Thus, the observed market reaction cannot be attributed to measurement problemscaused by thin trading.

Book Synopsis The Differences Between Stock Splits and Stock Dividends by : Johannes Raaballe
Download or read book The Differences Between Stock Splits and Stock Dividends written by Johannes Raaballe and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 32 pages. 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 Synopsis Changes in Trading Activity Following Stock Splits and Their Effect on Volatility and the Adverse Information Component of the Bid-Ask Spread by : Anand S. Desai
Download or read book Changes in Trading Activity Following Stock Splits and Their Effect on Volatility and the Adverse Information Component of the Bid-Ask Spread written by Anand S. Desai and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We examine changes in trading activity around stock splits, and their effect on the volatility and the adverse information component of the bid-ask spread. Even after controlling for microstructure biases, we find a significant increase in the volatility after the split. Changes in total volatility and in its permanent component are positively related to changes in the number of trades. This suggests that both informed and noise traders contribute to changes in trading activity. Further, while the adverse information component of the spread increases unconditionally after the split, the change is negatively related to the change in trading activity. The results suggest that a crucial determinant of liquidity changes after a stock split is the success of the split in attracting new trades in the security.
Book Synopsis New Evidence of Stock Split When Uncertain Event Window is Identified by : Arnat Leemakdej
Download or read book New Evidence of Stock Split When Uncertain Event Window is Identified written by Arnat Leemakdej and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stock split is a popular practice in many markets despite the fact that it does not fundamentally change the value of the firm. Many past evidences supported the liquidity hypothesis and found positive abnormal return around stock split date. However, all studies employed traditional event studies methodology and defined the event date as either the announcement date or effective date. Drawback of the traditional method is the incapability to detect the impact when the event date is uncertain. This paper uses the new approach called EVARCH that can uncover the event window from the data. In addition, it takes the possible impact of stock split on stock's systematic risk and variance into account. New evidence from the Stock Exchange of Thailand during 2001-2005 reveals that there is no significant positive abnormal return. However, the study finds that the corporate might use stock split as a 'signal' of future capital increase to alleviate negative impact.
Book Synopsis Stock Splits and the Trading Speed Improvement Hypothesis by : Ji-Chai Lin
Download or read book Stock Splits and the Trading Speed Improvement Hypothesis written by Ji-Chai Lin and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Managers have repeatedly indicated in surveys that stock splits are intended to improve liquidity. However, previous studies using bid-ask spread and turnover as measures of liquidity find results to the contrary. This paper offers a new perspective on the issue. Stock splits can make buying shares more affordable to smaller investors, and split-induced higher trading costs can help attract more brokers to promote the stock and new limit-order traders to supply liquidity. Accordingly, we hypothesize that managers of firms facing order execution difficulty and lock-in risk have incentives to use stock splits to improve trading speed at the expense of higher trading costs. Consistent with the hypothesis, we find evidence that firms face trading difficulty prior to splits, and following the split trading speed improves. On average, about 72 percent of the split announcement returns could be attributed to the net benefit of anticipated trading speed improvement. Our findings indicate that trading difficulty is an important factor in firms' split decisions, and that the benefit of the improved trading speed outweighs the increased trading costs.
Book Synopsis Stock Split and Order Composition by : Eka Siskawati
Download or read book Stock Split and Order Composition written by Eka Siskawati and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to observe split effects surrounding split announcements. This study examines the splitting firms in Indonesia Stock Exchange for the period 1999 - 2008 while taking into account the wider split size from 2 for 1 until 10 for 1 split size. This study applies trading intensity as a proxy for liquidity effect. The result of this study indicated that there is higher liquidity of smallest trade size after split for all split size categories. This implies that small investors are attracted by lower price after split. Also, this study examines trading composition by computing the number of small buy and small sell order surrounding split announcement. Examination of trading composition aims to disentangle the signaling and liquidity effect surrounding the split events. Furthermore, this study finds that small buy order dominated after split trading activities which also imply liquidity enhancement. An interesting pattern exhibited by order composition of 2 for 1 split size shows that, small buy order significantly dominates the small sell order before split. This might indicate that 2 for 1 before split is driven by signaling effect, while 2 for 1 after split is partly driven by liquidity effect.
Book Synopsis Liquidity and Asset Prices by : Yakov Amihud
Download or read book Liquidity and Asset Prices written by Yakov Amihud and published by Now Publishers Inc. This book was released on 2006 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liquidity and Asset Prices reviews the literature that studies the relationship between liquidity and asset prices. The authors review the theoretical literature that predicts how liquidity affects a security's required return and discuss the empirical connection between the two. Liquidity and Asset Prices surveys the theory of liquidity-based asset pricing followed by the empirical evidence. The theory section proceeds from basic models with exogenous holding periods to those that incorporate additional elements of risk and endogenous holding periods. The empirical section reviews the evidence on the liquidity premium for stocks, bonds, and other financial assets.
Book Synopsis The Information Content of Multiple Stock Splits by : Gow-Cheng Huang
Download or read book The Information Content of Multiple Stock Splits written by Gow-Cheng Huang and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We examine the relationship between the frequency of stock splits and firms' motives for splitting their stock. Compared to their peers, infrequent splitters show higher post-split operating performance, but not so for frequent splitters. We find that split ratio and liquidity change explain the stock split announcement effect for the frequent splitters. In contrast, the change in operating performance in split year explains the announcement effect for the infrequent splitters. Our results suggest that frequent splits are more consistent with the trading range/improved liquidity hypothesis and infrequent splits are more consistent with the signaling hypothesis.
Book Synopsis Market Liquidity by : Thierry Foucault
Download or read book Market Liquidity written by Thierry Foucault and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023 with total page 531 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The process by which securities are traded is very different from the idealized picture of a frictionless and self-equilibrating market offered by the typical finance textbook. This book offers a more accurate and authoritative take on this process. The book starts from the assumption that not everyone is present at all times simultaneously on the market, and that participants have quite diverse information about the security's fundamentals. As a result, the order flow is a complex mix of information and noise, and a consensus price only emerges gradually over time as the trading process evolves and the participants interpret the actions of other traders. Thus, a security's actual transaction price may deviate from its fundamental value, as it would be assessed by a fully informed set of investors. The book takes these deviations seriously, and explains why and how they emerge in the trading process and are eventually eliminated. The authors draw on a vast body of theoretical insights and empirical findings on security price formation that have come to form a well-defined field within financial economics known as "market microstructure." Focusing on liquidity and price discovery, the book analyzes the tension between the two, pointing out that when price-relevant information reaches the market through trading pressure rather than through a public announcement, liquidity may suffer. It also confronts many striking phenomena in securities markets and uses the analytical tools and empirical methods of market microstructure to understand them. These include issues such as why liquidity changes over time and differs across securities, why large trades move prices up or down, and why these price changes are subsequently reversed, and why we observe temporary deviations from asset fair values"--
