Book Description
Event study analysis is applied to investigate stock price reaction to the announcement of bonus issues for the emerging stock markets of China. Results show that the issues with a high bonus ratio (number of bonus shares in the issue/number of existing shares) usually attract positive returns for both Chinese (A-share traders) and foreign (B-share traders) residents. Issues with a low bonus ratio are rewarded with negative returns for A-share traders and do not stimulate significant activity by B-share traders. The hypothesis of semi-strong form market efficiency is rejected only for small-bonus issues traded on the A-share market; the B-share market displays stronger evidence of semi-strong form market efficiency than the A-share market. Finally, there appears to be additional informational content in the approvals of bonus issues above and beyond that of the proposals, even though most bonus schedules proceed as proposed.

Bonus Issues, Stock Price Reaction, and Signalling
Author: David Yubin Wang
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Bonuses (Employee fringe benefits)
Languages : en
Pages : 126
Book Description
This thesis examines whether bonus issues signals positive firm information to investors in the Chinese stock market. Using a standard event study methodology, the valuation effect of bonus issue announcements are examined for the period from 1996 to 2010. I find that, on average, stock prices react positively to bonus issue announcements. Firms announcing higher bonus ratio, firms with smaller market capitalisation, and firms with high book-to-market ratio, experience higher valuation effects around the announcement date. Bonus issuing firms also experience significantly higher operating performance and earnings growth in the years surrounding the announcement compared to non-bonus issuing companies matched on industry and firm size, with the difference becoming more pronounced for high bonus firms. Lastly, I show the operating performance in the year after the announcement is significantly correlated to the bonus ratio and 3-day abnormal return. Overall, I show bonus issues are used by managers to convey positive future firm prospects to investors, and that investors interpret bonus issues as a credible signal for firm performance.
