Harnessing media attention: Strategic corporate press releases and media coverage around earnings announcements

主讲人

Wai-Man (Raymond) LIU

简介

<p>Abstract: We document that firms are 80% more likely to issue non-earnings press releases during the earnings announcement period when delivering extremely negative earnings news. &nbsp;Non-earnings press releases are insufficient to improve negative announcement returns in isolation. &nbsp;However, if the media covers the non-earnings press release, announcement returns increase by about 6% followed by a partial reversal. &nbsp;Our results suggest that while the non-earnings press releases are value relevant, investors tend to overreact to the media reporting of the non-earnings news. &nbsp;These valuation effects are concentrated in small firms.</p>
