We study strategic disclosure timing by correlated firms in the presence of risk-averse investors. Firms delay disclosures in the hope that positively correlated firms will announce especially good news and lift their own price. Risk premia rise before disclosures, drop when disclosures occur,...

We investigate “black mouth” in the Chinese stock market, which is a form of manipulation based on disinformation, and examine how investors react to such behavior and its underlying impact mechanism. Black mouth temporarily leads to abnormal investor attention and triggers an abnormal stock...

This paper provides evidence that the 52-week high serves as a psychological barrier, inducing expectational errors and underreaction to news. Two clear predictions emerge and are confirmed in the data. First, nearness to a 52-week high induces expectational errors; evidence from earnings...

This paper finds that the majority of stock price movements remain unexplained after controlling for both public and private information. This suggests that economists' inability to explain asset price movements is the result of either noise or naive asset pricing models.

This paper aims to examine the reactions among institutional and individual investors when facing those listed firms' public announcements, and the effects of their trading on stock returns on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TSE). By employing a trivariate vector autoregressive (VAR) model, we find...

By means of Event Study, Panel Data Regression and Feasible Generalized Least Squares, we discuss the influence of uncertainty of information on the Post-Earnings Announcement Drift. We find that there are not significant differences between the H-share financial statements and the A-share...

The simple happenstance of the overall stock market being up or down for the day can explain a substantial portion of the abnormal return attached to corporate news announcements. In particular, we demonstrate that firm-specific news announcements that are typically met with a positive stock...

This paper investigates market-level and private investor trading patterns and performance around earnings announcements. We document clear evidence for abnormal trading around earnings announcements for both the entire market and households in Germany and observe that private investor...

We show that immediate and delayed abnormal returns following earnings announcement surprises differ across market states. Immediate abnormal returns are more sensitive to earnings surprises in down markets, while delayed abnormal returns are less sensitive; underreaction is attenuated in down...

While previous studies find little evidence of an increase in the placement of new orders before a market sensitive announcement, existing limit orders are revised significantly more often. In this study, we extend the research in three ways. First, we extend the range of announcements studied....
