Using Data

This paper examines the intraday performance of contrarian strategies using data from 438 listed stocks on the Taiwan Stock Exchange in 2004. The results indicate significantly positive abnormal returns for the contrarian strategies. For the whole trading day, the contrarian strategies earn an average abnormal return of at least 0.18% for all strategies, and above 0.3% in 24 out of the 36 contrarian strategies prior to transaction costs. Moreover, the contrarian profit increases from a formation period of five minutes to 10 minutes, and then declines toward a longer formation period of 60 minutes. This pattern suggests that price reversals occur around 10 minutes into the formation period. The intraday analysis also indicates that the abnormal returns earned by the contrarian strategies are higher in the opening and the closing intervals than in the middle of the trading day. Finally, the results indicate that price reversals occur for both prior losers and prior winners, with prior winners experiencing larger price reversals than prior losers when the holding period becomes longer. However, the above results of profitable abnormal returns are based on gross returns before transaction costs were deducted. When reasonable explicit trading costs are considered, none of the 36 contrarian strategies produce any "free lunches" for investors.

The Impact

This paper examines the impact of differences of opinion (DIFOPN) on long-term price reversals using all of the common stocks listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange over the period of 1990–2008. We choose winners and losers ranked by their cumulative abnormal returns (CARs) over the three-year formation period. The performance of the winners and losers is evaluated over the subsequent one-year holding periods. The empirical results indicate that DIFOPN are generally positively related to price reversals in the holding period for both winners and losers. When DIFOPN are measured by the financial analysts' forecasts of earnings per share and by the standard deviation of stock returns, the association between DIFOPN and price reversals is significantly different from zero. This relationship is robust when such control variables as market-to-book ratios, size, and beta are included.

Corporate Social

This study tries to (1)to examine the difference of corporate social performance (CSP) between the old IPO firms and the new IPO firms, and (2)to investigate the influence of corporate social performance (CSP) on stock return. Corporate social performance (CSP) is measured using NH approach and stock return is measured using cumulative abnormal returns (CAR) and holding-period returns (HPR). The sample covers 75 IPO firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange between 2011 and April 2015. Our study employs independent sample test and ordinary least square (OLS) regression to analyze the research models. The results show that 1) there is significant difference in corporate social performance (CSP) between the old IPO firms and the new IPO firms, and 2)CSP has positive and significant effect on stock return, controlling for firm size, firm growth, institutional ownership and managerial ownership. Robustness tests support the results. Investor should pay much more attention on the old IPO firms and corporate social performance (CSP). Firms that are going to sell IPO stocks, specifically for young firms, should concern more on social responsibilities.

Abnormal Performance

This study examines the cross-sectional determinants of the price reaction to analysts’ recommendations disseminated through various type of media and for firms listed in Taiwan stock markets. We measure abnormal returns using the market model of event study. Based on the type of media (traditional media/social media) and the type of exchange (Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE)/Taipei Exchange (TPEx)), we classify the combined sample observations into four samples and run quantile regressions to investigate whether the relation will be uniform across various quantile levels. Our results show that the relation between firm characteristics and cumulative abnormal returns is not homogeneous across various quantiles of abnormal returns. Our evidence indicates that in general the relation tends to be stronger for firms at higher performance quantile levels and tends to be more pronounced for TWSE firms. The strongest relation is found for the Traditional/TWSE sample, where the abnormal returns are positively related to insider ownership and prior-period earnings, and negatively related to institutional shareholding and price-to-book ratio for firms in the highest abnormal performance quantile.

Abnormal Profits

Using data from the Stockholm Stock Exchange (SSE), we study the value added by (as distinct from the abnormal returns to) analysts’ recommendations. Recommending brokers’ clients trade profitably around positive recommendations at the expense of other brokers’ clients. Significant profits come from transactions before recommendation dates. Value added is greatest for upgrades to large caps, and largely insignificant for downgrades and recommendations of small caps, despite high abnormal returns. Brokers making profitable recommendations generate abnormally high commission income, recouping much of their clients’ abnormal profits, and their abnormal commission income varies in line with the abnormal profits for their clients.

This paper extends ISO certification research by investigating whether a stock value is influenced by the announcement of its ISO registration with respect to the firm size, industry, and ISO standard series on the Taiwan Stock Exchange. The results show that receiving ISO registration influences abnormal returns. The market reacts favorably to both small and large firms but has no reaction to medium firms in terms of a firm's capital. We also observe significant positive market reaction for Plastics and Textiles. A beneficial implication is that investors may benefit more from their investment endeavors if they can properly examine the specific effects.

Tax Status

We investigate buy–sell imbalances (BSIs) around ex-dividend days on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE) and find that trading activities are not entirely correlated with investor tax status. We find that margin traders and short sellers engage in arbitrage by selling more stocks for those with high abnormal returns cum- and ex-dividend, respectively. Tax-neutral dealers engage in overnight trading while tax-disadvantaged foreigners refrain from selling stocks cum-dividend.
