Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
Several studies argue that open market share repurchase has the lowest power to signal the inside information to the market. In this study I explore the market reaction to the announcement of stock repurchase plan with the firm’s characters argued in prior literature that they can increase the market confident. Referred from prior literatures, the stated motivation in the press release, insider “BUY” prior announcement, percentage of majority shareholder, and the amount of repurchasing plan are introduced to reflect the level of information signal sent by management. I find that investors have skepticism with an information sent via open market …

Moreover, this paper finds investment implication of creating abnormal returns from TPER trading strategy in Thailand stock market. In this study, several approaches have been applied which are Fama-French (1993) …

Is There Risk Reduction In Conglomerate Acquisition?, Paskamon Luntavanich
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
This study examines risk effect in conglomerate acquisitions through portfolio diversification framework. We find that based on asset diversification potential, acquirers’ risks are expected to decline when they engage in diversifying acquisitions. Interestingly, our result suggests that focus acquisitions are also associated with firms’ risk decrease. With this finding, it indicates that asset diversification potential is also pronounced even when the two assets, i.e., firms from similar industry are combined together. In addition, our results suggest that risks are expected to decline more when diversified firms make further diversifying acquisitions than focus acquisitions but this evidence could not be observed …

This study examines the influence of Purchase Price Allocation (PPA) on investors’ decision making in Thailand by utilising the completed M&A deals which the acquirers listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand and are over 50% owned after transactions during 2010 – 2019.

Bond Market Reaction Surrounding Share Repurchase Announcement, Phasaporn Kitjakarnkoson
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
I reexamine the bond market reaction to share repurchase announcement. The wealth transfer hypothesis suggests that shareholders expropriate wealth from debtholders hence the debtholders should react negative to this news. I collect daily yield-to-maturity of corporate bond during 2005-2019 to calculate excess change in bond yield spread and classify bond characteristics into five subsamples which are sensitive to the wealth redistribution effect: payment rank, issuer rating, bond rating, bond maturity, and size of repurchase. However, I do not find evidence supporting wealth redistribution effect in all bond attributes. Moreover, firm ratings of repurchasing firms are less likely to be downgraded …

This study aims to provide empirical evidence to support the idea of signaling in a situation with high information asymmetry. We attempt to understand how IPO issuer’s expectation on its aftermarket trading volume may affect its disclosure decision of the intended use of proceeds. The sample consists of IPOs between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2019 from 5 countries, including Australia, Indonesia, Philippine, Singapore, and Thailand. By using the expected turnover estimated from 3 approaches, we find empirical evidence suggesting that IPO issuers with low expected aftermarket turnover tend to disclose highly detailed information on the uses of proceeds. …

We develop an ex-ante measure of expected stock returns based on analyst price targets. We then show that ex-ante measures of volatility, skewness, and kurtosis implied from stock option prices are positively related to the cross section of ex-ante expected stock returns. While expected returns are related to both the systematic and unsystematic components of volatility, only the unsystematic components of skewness and kurtosis are related to the cross section of expected stock returns after controlling for other variables known to be related to the cross section of expected stock returns or analyst forecast bias.

Climate Risks And Market Efficiency, Harrison Hong, Frank Weikai Li, Jiangmin Xu
Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business
Climate science finds that the trend towards higher global temperatures exacerbates the risks of droughts. We investigate whether the prices of food stocks efficiently discount these risks. Using data from thirty-one countries with publicly-traded food companies, we rank these countries each year based on their long-term trends toward droughts using the Palmer Drought Severity Index. A poor trend ranking for a country forecasts relatively poor profit growth for food companies in that country. It also forecasts relatively poor food stock returns in that country. This return predictability is consistent with food stock prices underreacting to climate change risks.

In this paper we employ intraday transaction prices of liquid E-mini S&P 500 index futuresoptions to form 10-minutes ahead risk-neutral skewness forecasts and show profitable optionstrading strategy net of transaction costs. We do not find profitable trading based on 10-minutesahead risk-neutral volatility and only very marginal cases of profitable trading using kurtosisforecasts. The skewness profitability anomaly may be an indication of informational marketinefficiency in intraday S&P 500 futures options markets, which is contrary to findings usinglonger-span daily and weekly moments. Our results lend credence to the persistence of intradaytrading activities in the markets.
