Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
This study examines risk effect in conglomerate acquisitions through portfolio diversification framework.

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 …

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 …

In my first essay, I examine how the quality of private information and the quality of public information contained in analyst revised one-year-ahead earnings forecasts issued right after a quarterly earnings announcement affect the post-earnings announcement drift (PEAD). I find that high precision of private information contained in revised forecasts reduces the level of PEAD and that the precision of public information contained in the revised one-year-ahead earnings forecasts partially offset the reduction in PEAD. Moreover, I find the effect of precision of private information on PEAD decreases after Reg FD, which required in the year 2000 that analysts could …
