- Abstract
This study aims to know how investors react to corporate action announcements and to which categories that investors react more positively to. This study differs from previous studies because we use three different event windows to calculate CAR, which are [+2, 0, -2], [+1, 0, +1], [-1, 0]. We also use firm size, market share, and market capitalization as control variables. Based on 201 samples in the period of 2020 by auto manufacturing firms in East Asia, we find that there is a significant difference of CAR between the firms that do and don’t do corporate actions. Based on 148 corporate action announcements, we find that the new product category is responded more positively by investors than the system & technology innovation category. Besides that, we also find that firm size significantly affects investor’s response, where large firms get more positive response from investors than small firms. The larger the size of the firm means that the firm has more resources and experiences, which give large firms more opportunities to successfully do corporate action. That reason makes investors interested to invest in large firms because they believe that large firms have better business prospects in the future. This study examines investor’s response to corporate action announcements only in the automotive sector. Other sectors’ results may differ from this study; therefore, future research has the opportunity to follow up on these issues.
