Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stock split ex-dates are associated with both an increased intensity of small investor buying and a positive abnormal return. The broker promotion hypothesis suggests that the increase in relative spread after a split induces brokers to promote splitting stocks to small investors. The trading inconvenience hypothesis ascribes the ex-split effects to inconveniences such as investors' aversion to dealing with due bills, which is unrelated to relative spreads. The reduction in the bid-ask spread due to decimalization allows us to disentangle these two hypotheses. During the 1/8th pricing period, we show that after the ex-date, the relative spread increases significantly. The average buy order size drops and the frequency of small transactions increases after the split. After decimalization, these changes are smaller in magnitude. We observe significant positive abnormal returns around the exdate during the 1/8th pricing period, but not in the decimal pricing period. These results support the broker promotion hypothesis.

Book Synopsis The Association between Stock Splits and Post-Earnings Announcement Drift by : Anthony J. Amoruso
Download or read book The Association between Stock Splits and Post-Earnings Announcement Drift written by Anthony J. Amoruso and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We analyze changes in post-earnings announcement drift around 1,781 two-for-one or greater stock splits reported by an equal number of CRSP firms during the 1972 through 1996 time period. We find that for the smallest firms in our sample, post-earnings announcement drift is eliminated in the quarters immediately following the split. The effect is transitory, however, with drift reasserting itself beginning with the third post-split quarterly earnings announcement. The abnormal returns for the largest firms in our sample exhibit insignificant drift in both pre- and post-split periods. These results suggest that stock splits provide information that causes investors - at least temporarily - to more fully incorporate serial correlation into their earnings expectations. The differential effect noted for small and large firms is likely attributable to the richer information environment faced by larger firms, in which the signal provided by a stock split does not constitute a significant incremental contribution. Our results are inconsistent with the transactions costs explanation of drift, which predicts an increase in drift following a split that is invariant to firm size.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Earnings and Stock Splits The objective of this paper is to examine whether stock splits convey information about firms' earnings in the period surrounding the split announcements. In order to mitigate any confounding effects of simultaneous dividend changes, only firms that do not pay cash dividends at the time of the stock split are included in the sample. Our tests, based on a sample of 121 stock split announcements from the period 1970-1980, lead to several conclusions.

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 Decimalization and Market Quality by : Robin K. Chou
Download or read book Decimalization and Market Quality written by Robin K. Chou and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relation between tick size and market quality is of interests to both academics and practitioners. The decimalization on the NYSE offers a rare opportunity to empirically examine the effects of tick size change on market quality. This paper performs a thorough study of the influences of tick size change based on the first three pilot stocks and all the NYSE common stocks (the full samples). Our empirical results indicate that, consistent with the literature, both spreads and depth decline significantly after decimalization. Both decreases in spreads and depth suggest that traders whose trade size does not exceed the reduced depth will enjoy lower transaction costs after decimalization. However, the impact on large traders is unclear. This makes it difficult to determine whether the market quality is improved for all traders after decimalization.Our results show that volume per trade decreases significantly after decimalization, especially for stocks that are actively traded or traded with a larger order size. Such results demonstrate that, after decimalization, either small traders participate more frequently or there are more front-runners entering the market. To examine these conjectures, we examine the changes in degree of front-running surrounding decimalization, and show that the degree of front-running does increase, especially for higher-priced stocks. These evidences support that there are more front-runners entering the decimal pricing system. Furthermore, stocks with different characteristics have different reactions to decimalization. Our results lend support to multiple optimal tick sizes for stocks with different characteristics, instead of a uniform minimum tick size for all stocks.

Book excerpt: This study examines the relationship between firm stock split behavior and pre-split institutional ownership. Results identify a positive relationship between pre-split institutional ownership measures and split behavior. A firm size effect implies that larger firms have higher percentages of institutional ownership and that these owners either encourage stock split behavior, have the ability to identify firms with stock split characteristics in the pre-split period, or both. Institutions purchasing shares in the identified firms in the pre-split period, therefore, expect short-term and long-term earnings increases.
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 A stock split event study using sector-indices vs. CDAX and some extensions of the standard market model by : David Bosch

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 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 The Effect of Stock Splits on the Ownership Structure of Firms by : Sandip Mukherji
Download or read book The Effect of Stock Splits on the Ownership Structure of Firms written by Sandip Mukherji and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper investigates the effect of stock splits on individual and institutional shareholders, which has been a matter of speculation in several studies. We test a broad sample of firms without confounding events and control for industry and size effects. Our results show that stock splits increase the number of both individual and institutional shareholders, and they do not affect the proportion of institutional holdings. Contrary to the prediction of the tax-option hypothesis, the Tax Reform Act of 1986 does not affect these results. Further, changes in the number of individual and institutional shareholders in the split year are positively related to the split factor. These results support the signaling hypothesis, but are inconsistent with the optimal trading range, tax-option, and managerial entrenchment hypothesis. We also find evidence suggesting that stock splits may be partially anticipated by institutional shareholders.

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 Effects of Forward Stock Split Announcements on Stock Price Performance: An Event Study Analysis of S&P 500 Companies by : Steffen Maxim Hübener
Download or read book The Effects of Forward Stock Split Announcements on Stock Price Performance: An Event Study Analysis of S&P 500 Companies written by Steffen Maxim Hübener and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis examines the effects of forward stock split announcements on the stock price performance of S&P 500 firms listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) or the NASDAQ Stock Exchange Global Select Market (NASDAQ) in the US between January 1, 2000, and June 1, 2023. In an event study, abnormal returns, their significance, and an evaluation of the effect of independent variables on cumulative abnormal returns are analyzed. These results are then linked to previous findings in the academic literature. The results reveal the presence of abnormal returns within the event window for certain cases, although the effects of the examined independent variables within the multivariate regression present a less conclusive picture. The independent variables examined include the stock split factor, analyst recommendation means, firm size, and ETF ownership. This study demonstrates that the relationships identified in samples with companies of varying sizes cannot be directly applied to large-cap companies of the S&P 500. Moreover, the variables that can be directly influenced by company management only show statistical significance in a few cases, indicating a more complex relationship at hand.
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.
