Book Synopsis Impact of Investors' Trading Activity to Post-Earnings Announcement Drift by : Markku J. Vieru
Download or read book Impact of Investors' Trading Activity to Post-Earnings Announcement Drift written by Markku J. Vieru and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study focuses on post-earnings-announcement drift in an emerging market and whether it is associated with the trading activity of non-institutional trading around interim earnings announcements. We separate the stock trading activity of Finnish households into five trading classes. Data is all trades executed on the Helsinki Stock Exchange during 1996-2000. Results show that when earnings news contains only moderate price effects no clear evidence is found to show that trading by any of the specified non-institutional trading activity classes is particularly associated with price changes. However, excess buying of passive and intermediate individual investors after extremely negative earnings news seems to intensify the negative post-earnings returns. Also for extremely positive earnings news trading by individuals seems to be related to the post-earnings returns. In that sense post-earnings returns are related with the trading of non-institutional activity classes. However, the net trading of non-institutional investors with different trading activities on the announcement day does not affect the correlation between earnings surprises and subsequent returns. This suggests that the net trading of non-institutional investors' trading activity on the announcement event does not predict subsequent returns. Thus this result is consistent with that of Hirshleifer, Myers, Myers and Teoh (2003).
Book Synopsis Investor Trading and the Post Earnings Announcement Drift by : Benjamin C. Ayers
Download or read book Investor Trading and the Post Earnings Announcement Drift written by Benjamin C. Ayers and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We examine whether the two distinct post-earnings-announcement drifts associated with seasonal random walk-based and analyst-based earnings surprises are attributable to the trading activities of distinct sets of investors. We predict and find that small (large) traders continue to trade in the direction of seasonal random walk-based (analyst-based) earnings surprises after earnings announcements. We also find that when small (large) traders react more thoroughly to seasonal random walk- (analyst-) based earnings surprises at the earnings announcements, the respective drift attenuates. Further evidence suggests that delayed small trades associated with random walk-based surprises are consistent with small traders' failure to understand time-series properties of earnings, whereas delayed large trades associated with analyst-based surprises are more consistent with a longer price discovery process. We also find that the analyst-based drift has declined in recent years.
Book Synopsis V-Shaped Disposition Effect, Stock Prices, and Post-Earnings-Announcement Drift by : Min Ki Kim
Download or read book V-Shaped Disposition Effect, Stock Prices, and Post-Earnings-Announcement Drift written by Min Ki Kim and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We attempt to explain post-earnings announcement drift using the newly documented refinement of the disposition effect, which is the V-shaped net selling propensity (VNSP). Using a novel data set containing stock-level information on the trading activities of different types of investors, we find that both large unrealized capital gains and losses positively predict subsequent stock returns in Korean stock markets. Furthermore, investors' net selling propensity affects investor underreaction to earnings news. Among good news stocks, post-announcement drift is more pronounced when they suffer from stockholders' higher net selling propensity. Specifically, these empirical results hold only when we construct a VNSP based on individual trading activity, which is more prone to behaivoral biases. Interestingly, the classic disposition effect does not induce underreaction to earnings news in our data set.
Book Synopsis Trading on Corporate Earnings News by : John Shon
Download or read book Trading on Corporate Earnings News written by John Shon and published by FT Press. This book was released on 2011-03-09 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Profit from earnings announcements, by taking targeted, short-term option positions explicitly timed to exploit them! Based on rigorous research and huge data sets, this book identifies the specific earnings-announcement trades most likely to yield profits, and teaches how to make these trades—in plain English, with real examples! Trading on Corporate Earnings News is the first practical, hands-on guide to profiting from earnings announcements. Writing for investors and traders at all experience levels, the authors show how to take targeted, short-term option positions that are explicitly timed to exploit the information in companies’ quarterly earnings announcements. They first present powerful findings of cutting-edge studies that have examined market reactions to quarterly earnings announcements, regularities of earnings surprises, and option trading around corporate events. Drawing on enormous data sets, they identify the types of earnings-announcement trades most likely to yield profits, based on the predictable impacts of variables such as firm size, visibility, past performance, analyst coverage, forecast dispersion, volatility, and the impact of restructurings and acquisitions. Next, they provide real examples of individual stocks–and, in some cases, conduct large sample tests–to guide investors in taking advantage of these documented regularities. Finally, they discuss crucial nuances and pitfalls that can powerfully impact performance.
Book Synopsis Do Individual Investors Cause Post-Earnings Announcement Drift? Direct Evidence from Personal Trades by : David A. Hirshleifer
Download or read book Do Individual Investors Cause Post-Earnings Announcement Drift? Direct Evidence from Personal Trades written by David A. Hirshleifer and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study tests whether naiquest;ve trading by individual investors, or some class of individual investors, causes post-earnings announcement drift (PEAD). Inconsistent with the individual trading hypothesis, individual investor trading fails to subsume any of the power of extreme earnings surprises to predict future abnormal returns. Moreover, individuals are significant net buyers after both negative and positive extreme earnings surprises, consistent with an attention effect, but not with their trades causing PEAD. Finally, we find no indication that trading by individuals explains the concentration of drift at subsequent earnings announcement dates.

Book Synopsis Post-Earnings Announcement Drift by : Tomas Tomcany
Download or read book Post-Earnings Announcement Drift written by Tomas Tomcany and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is a well documented finding in finance theory that share prices drift in the direction of firms' unexpected earnings changes, a phenomenom known as post-earnings announcement drift, or earnings momentum. In this book, I study the stock prices' reaction to firms' quarterly earnings announcements. The book shows that the timeframe in which the drift occurs is related to the size of a firm and is limited in time after the earnings announcement. I further analyze the effect of the number of analysts covering a firm on the magnitude and persistance of post-earnings announcement drift. I document that recent analyst coverage predicts large drifts after the earnings announcements. I suggest several possible explanations, but the evidence seems most consistent with recent analyst coverage providing information about investor (or analyst) expectations regarding firm's future earnings. This book should be useful to professionals in Financial Economics, especially to those interested in Behavioral Finance in stock markets, but also to equity analysts, traders or investors interested in the stocks' response to earnings news.
Book Synopsis Herding on Earnings News by : Linda H. Chen
Download or read book Herding on Earnings News written by Linda H. Chen and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We examine the role of institutional investors underlying post-earnings-announcement drift (PEAD). Our results show that while institutional investors generally herd on earnings news, such correlated trading among institutions does not eliminate or reduce market underreaction to earnings surprises. Instead, PEAD is significant only in the subsample of stocks where institutions herd in the same direction as earnings surprises. In fact, institutional herding is also positively related to next-quarter earnings announcement returns. We provide evidence that institutional herding on or against earnings news is largely driven by firm characteristics, particularly past firm performance and stock returns. In addition, we find that relative to non-transient institutions, transient institutions have a stronger tendency to herd on earnings information. Finally, based on long-run stock returns, we show that when institutions herd on earnings surprises, institutional trading represents a gradual process of incorporating information into stock prices. On the other hand, when institutions herd against earnings surprises, institutional trading slows down stock price discovery.
Book Synopsis Volume, Opinion Divergence and Returns by : Jon A. Garfinkel
Download or read book Volume, Opinion Divergence and Returns written by Jon A. Garfinkel and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the relationship between post-earnings announcement returns and different measures of volume at the earnings date. We find that post-event returns are strictly increasing in the component of volume that is unexplained by prior trading activity. We interpret unexplained volume as an indicator of opinion divergence among investors and conclude that post-event returns are increasing in ex-ante opinion divergence. Our evidence is consistent with Varian (1985) who suggests that opinion divergence may be treated as an additional risk factor affecting asset prices.
Book Synopsis Post-Earnings Announcement Drift by : Robert H. Battalio
Download or read book Post-Earnings Announcement Drift written by Robert H. Battalio and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The persistence of the post-earnings announcement drift leads many to believe that trading barriers prevent knowledgeable investors from eliminating it. For example, Bhushan (1994) contends that sophisticated investors quickly drive prices to within trading costs of efficient values. We examine two factors not previously addressed in the literature: the exact timing of the announcements and liquidity costs. Specifically, we compare the profits generated by transacting immediately following the announcement and at the close of the actual announcement day to the common practices of assuming trades at the close on the Compustat date or the following day. We further investigate the impact of liquidity costs on the drift by examining actual quotes available to investors. Under a wide range of timing and cost assumptions our results leave little doubt that between 1993 and 2002 an investor could have earned hedged-portfolio returns of at least 14% per year after trading costs.

A treasure trove of investment research and wisdom, the book will save you literally thousands of hours by distilling the essence of twenty years of academic research into eleven clear chapters and providing the framework and conviction to develop market-beating strategies. Strips the academic jargon from the research and highlights the actual returns generated by the anomalies, and documented in the academic literature Provides a theoretical framework within which to understand the concepts of risk adjusted returns and market inefficiencies Anomalies are selected by Len Zacks, a pioneer in the field of investing As the founder of Zacks Investment Research, Len Zacks pioneered the concept of the earnings-per-share surprise in 1982 and developed the Zacks Rank, one of the first anomaly-based stock selection tools. Today, his firm manages U.S. equities for individual and institutional investors and provides investment software and investment data to all types of investors. Now, with his new book, he shows you what it takes to build a quant process to outperform an index based on academically documented market inefficiencies and anomalies.
Book Synopsis Investor Inattention and the Post-earnings Announcement Drift - Evidence from Switzerland by : Sarah Suter
Download or read book Investor Inattention and the Post-earnings Announcement Drift - Evidence from Switzerland written by Sarah Suter and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Earlier studies on earnings numbers have discovered a market anomaly which could not be explained by flaws in the applied research design. They claim that stock prices do not incor-porate earnings news immediately, as suggested by the efficient market theory, but tend to drift into the direction of the unexpected earnings after an earnings announcement. In addi-tion, this effect seems to be stronger if investors are distracted by competing announcements at the announcement date. Based on Swiss earnings and stock price data, this paper analyses whether unexpected earnings are followed by cumulative abnormal stock returns. I find post-earnings announcement drift that increases with the magnitude of the earnings surprise. By comparing immediate and delayed market reaction and post-earnings announcement drift on high-news and low-news days, this study examines the effect of investor inattention on post-earnings announcement drift. The findings are consistent with lower immediate market re-sponse and stronger drift when investors are distracted.

Book Synopsis The Role of Institutional Investors in Post-Earnings Announcement Drift by : Guilong Cai
Download or read book The Role of Institutional Investors in Post-Earnings Announcement Drift written by Guilong Cai and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We examine how institutional investors influence post-earnings announcement drift (PEAD) in China. Our findings suggest that institutional holdings are positively correlated with PEAD in China, especially when institutional investors herd strongly on earnings news. This positive relationship is more salient for institutional investors with shorter investment horizons and in firms with higher information opacity. We also find that stock prices reverse in the fourth quarter after the earnings announcement. In contrast to the well-established view that institutional investors exploit PEAD and accelerate the speed of information incorporation, our findings suggest that they may instead exacerbate PEAD and slow down price discovery in emerging markets with different institutional backgrounds.
Book Synopsis Do Institutional Investors Exploit the Post-Earnings Announcement Drift? by : Bin Ke
Download or read book Do Institutional Investors Exploit the Post-Earnings Announcement Drift? written by Bin Ke and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We provide evidence that transient institutional investors (i.e., those actively trading to maximize short term profits) trade to exploit the post-earnings announcement drift (PEAD). We estimate that transient institutions' arbitrage generates an abnormal return of 5.1 percent (or 22 percent annualized) after transaction costs. In addition, their arbitrage trades accelerate the speed that stock prices reflect the implications of current earnings for future earnings. However, transient institutions trade less aggressively to exploit PEAD in firms with high transaction costs. Our results contribute to understanding the role of transient institutional investors in explaining the persistence of PEAD.
Book Synopsis Why Does the Post Earnings Announcement Drift Last for So Long? An Explanation Based on the Investors' Beliefs by : Xin Cui
Download or read book Why Does the Post Earnings Announcement Drift Last for So Long? An Explanation Based on the Investors' Beliefs written by Xin Cui and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We examine the role of investors' beliefs in determining the post earnings announcement drift (PEAD). Specifically, we propose a technique to estimate the belief parameters of the informed and uninformed investors, based on which we define the uninformed investors' information acceptance ratio (IAR). We demonstrate that IAR is a key factor determining the length of PEAD. IAR also explains the post announcement returns and the risk increases. Furthermore, we show that the earnings announcements contain both the hard and soft information. The hard information reduces uncertainty, whereas the soft information enhances uncertainty. And the latter effect dominates the former.
Book Synopsis Post-Earnings-Announcement Drift by : Joshua Livnat
Download or read book Post-Earnings-Announcement Drift written by Joshua Livnat and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explores an additional factor that is associated with differential levels of the post-earnings-announcement drift (henceforth drift) - the contemporaneous surprise in revenues. Consistent with prior evidence about greater persistence of revenues and greater noise caused by heterogeneity of expenses, this study shows that the earnings drift is stronger when the revenue surprise is in the same direction as the earnings surprise. Moreover, the study provides direct evidence that the drift is stronger when the earnings persistence is greater. The results are robust to various controls, including the proportions of stock held by institutional investors, trading liquidity, and arbitrage risk.
