The publication of quarterly results of publicly traded companies can have a significant impact on the valuation of their shares. This is mainly concerned with the valuation of the shares, whether it is correct, and at the same time as a prediction of the overall annual financial results. It In most of the analysed companies, we found that most of the year-on-year changes were negative. It is also not possible to draw a clear conclusion about the linear relationship between the percentage change pf surprises and the change in the market price of shares. It should also be noted that the share price in the monitored days may be affected by the current market situation. What this means in practice is that, despite the positive results and the negative mood, stock prices can end up in negative values. However, this situation was not the subject of our research. Therefore, we used a correlation coefficient for this dependence, which represent the mutual movement.

The investors place great importance on the share price of publicly traded companies since it may reflect the company’s value. The research objective is to examine the relationship between financial performance and debt at share prices through dividend policy. The method of the research used is quantitative and correlational research. The data analysis technique is the use of smart PLS. The results of the study explain that financial performance has a positive effect on stock prices in the mediation of dividend policy. Debt negatively affects share price mediated by dividend policy. The implication of the study is that companies should consider the benefits as well as risks of borrowing funds from third parties. Investors and potential investors before investing their money in stocks must pay attention to financial performance, corporate debt and dividend policy so that they do not experience losses in their investment.

Purpose Cybercrime is a prevalent and serious threat to publicly traded companies. Defending company information systems from cybercrime is one of the most important aspects of technology management. Cybercrime often not only results in stolen assets and lost business but also damages a company’s reputation, which in turn may affect the company’s stock market value. This is a serious concern to company managers, financial analysts, investors and creditors. This paper aims to examine the impact of cybercrime on stock prices of a sample of publicly traded companies. Design/methodology/approach Financial data were gathered on companies that were reported in news stories as victims of cybercrime. The market price of the company’s stock was recorded for several days before the news report and several days after. The percentage change in the stock price was compared to the change in the Dow Jones Industrial average to determine whether the stock price increased or decreased along with the rest of the market. Findings Stock prices were negatively affected in all time periods examined, significantly so in one period. Practical implications This paper describes cases concerning cybercrime, thereby bringing attention to the value of cybersecurity in protecting computers, identity and transactions. Cyber security is necessary to avoid becoming a victim of cybercrime. Specific security improvements and preventive measures are provided within the paper. Preventive measures are generally less costly than repairs after a cybercrime. Originality/value This is an original manuscript that adds to the literature regarding cybercrime and preventive measures.

This Chapter considers the nature and characteristics of different deal structures: the different ways in which a control transaction can be effected. It commences with an analysis of asset deals, which - although we do not encounter in the context of the takeovers of publicly traded companies which are the subject of this book – assist in understanding the nature of other deal structures as well as understanding the ways in which deal risk can be managed and, to a limited but important extent, assist in understanding certain Code rules. The Chapter then considers direct share offers (otherwise known as contractual offers). It analyses their structure as well as the corporate, Listing Rule and third party approvals required to effect a share deal. It also considers the use of compulsory acquisition powers to acquire all the shares in the company following the contractual offer. The Chapter then considers the use of Schemes of Arrangements in control transactions. It details the different types of control schemes, namely transfer schemes and merger schemes, and considers their advantages and disadvantages as compared to contractual offers. It analyses the different stages of the scheme process and the role of the courts in each stage. The final part of the Chapter considers the operation of the UK’s cross border merger regime, introduced to implement the European Union’s Cross Border Mergers Directive.

Abstract This paper provides an empirical investigation of the hypothesis that companies engage in corporate social responsibility (CSR) in order to offset corporate social irresponsibility (CSI). We find general support for the relationship that when companies do more “harm,” they also do more “good.” The empirical analysis is based on an extensive 15-year panel dataset that covers nearly 3,000 publicly traded companies. In addition to the overall finding that more CSI results in more CSR, we find evidence of heterogeneity among industries, where the effect is stronger in industries where CSI tends to be the subject of greater public scrutiny. We also investigate the degree of substitutability between different categories of CSR and CSI. Within the categories of community relations, environment, and human rights—arguably among those dimensions of social responsibility that are most salient—there is a strong within-category relationship. In contrast, the within-category relationship for corporate governance is weak, but CSI related to corporate governance appears to increase CSR in most other categories. Thus, when CSI concerns arise about corporate governance, companies seemingly choose to offset with CSR in other dimensions, rather than reform governance itself.

ABSTRACT This article aims to verify what the influence is of different disclosure activities on the concentration of more sophisticated investors in Brazilian companies. The study fills a gap regarding the influence that disclosure activities can have on the concentration of sophisticated investors in Brazilian firms, considering that this may occur due to their ability to maximize the usefulness of the information disclosed and the return on investments, with a reduction in the cost of allocated funds. This subject is relevant because it verifies not the clientless effect of disclosure, presented by the only study previously developed on the subject in the United States (Kalay, 2015), but rather the influence that disclosure activities (earnings forecasts, market communications, and investor relations [IR]) have on the most sophisticated investors’ decisions to allocate funds in companies in the Brazilian market. As an impact on the area, it was noted that those companies that release market communications attract the investment of funds and the concentration of sophisticated investors much more than those that present better IR and release profit forecasts. We studied 89 publicly-traded companies whose reference forms were published in the period from 2011 to 2016. The number of institutional investors disclosed in the reference forms was used as a proxy to categorize them as more sophisticated. The different disclosure activities were represented by the disclosure of profit forecasts, the number of market communications, and the best IR. The best IR proxy was categorized using the companies awarded by IR Magazine Brazil that presented the best IR in the study period. The results of this study show that the most sophisticated investors concentrated in companies with better IR, in those that do not disclose profit forecasts, and in companies with a greater number of disclosed market communications. The disclosure of market communications is the disclosure activity that most influences the concentration of sophisticated investors in Brazilian companies that use more voluntary disclosure than discretionary disclosure to allocate their funds.

ABSTRACT Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, we capture neural activity in the ventral striatum—a key area in the human brain's reward processing circuit—of 35 adult investors learning the earnings per share disclosed by 60 publicly traded companies. Before imaging, investors forecasted each company's earnings and took either a long or a short position in its stock. Consistent with prospect theory, we find strong neurobiological evidence of an asymmetric reaction to positive and negative earnings surprises. Moreover, investors' personality traits and investment positions, as well as firms' earnings predictability, modulate the brain's reaction to earnings news. We also find a strong association between the magnitude of the brain's reaction and risk-adjusted stock returns and abnormal share trading around earnings announcements for our sample firms; these findings evince the brain's reaction to earnings news as an alternative, biological measure of the information content of earnings.
