This research aims to examine the effect of two types of corporate actions,“Stock Split” and “Stock Dividends”, on the shares’ prices, liquidity changes, and price volatility; and to investigate the efficiency of the Egyptian stock market in response to the announcement of the corporate actions. The research provides the investors with a scientific tool to predict and explain changes in stock prices in response to announced corporate actions and to improve their investment decision-making process.The objective is to investigate whether the two actions collectively or independently have a positive impact on the prices of the related stocks listed on the Egyptian Stock Exchange (EGX), and assess the similarities and dissimilarities between their individual impacts.We applied the “Event Study” approach to measure the impact of the stock splits and stock dividends announcement on the stock prices through measuring the cumulated average abnormal return (CAAR) resulted from events to assess their impact on the stock performance around the announcement day (for a period of 30 prior and 30 days post announcement) as applied before by Terhi (2011).  The analysis concluded that the announcement of both of stock split and stock dividend has a positive impact on stock prices. This positive impact drove the authors to test the efficiency of EGX in respect of the impact of the announcement the corporate actions to the public investors.

Corporate action is usually believed to offer some good news to the investors, particularly in case of amalgamation and mergers. In many cases, corporate actions do not involve any potential future positive benefits to the company as is the case with bonus issue and stock splits. Such types of actions of the companies could be called as fictitious corporate actions. It has been noticed by many empirical studies that the market react positively to the announcement of bonus shares and stock splits. This study analyses the reasons for the issue of bonus shares and stock splits on a sample of 165 companies which have issued bonus shares and 134 companies which have gone for stock splits during January 2000 to September 2006. An effort is also made to find the distinguishing conditions under which a company has to decide whether to issue bonus shares or to go for stock splits. Five variables have been considered for the study: rate of growth of sales and profit, beta and share price increase, and promoter stake. Effort has been made to explore whether there is any significant difference in these variables as applicable to stock split and bonus shares. The study reveals that top management of the companies decide to issue bonus shares when the investors undervalue the company while they go for stock split when the investors overvalue the company for a long time and promoters have to step in to correct these anomalies. This merely goes on to prove that capital markets are not inherently efficient even in the long run and promoters have to intervene to manage the prices of their stocks through corporate actions. This puts a question mark on the Market Efficiency Hypothesis and an effort has been made to test the ability of NSE to depict semi-strong and strong form of Market Efficiency Hypothesis. As far as policy implications are concerned, the author suggests that: Companies may resort to bonus shares issue if the rate of growth of share price lag behind the market index and the rate of growth of sales and profit is higher than the companies included in the index. In contrast, they may resort to stock split if the rate of growth of share price is higher than that of the index while the growth in sales and profit is less than the companies included in the index. One should also be cautious while applying this rationale. There are significant number of companies (negative companies) which may resort to fictitious corporate actions even if their rate of growth of sales or profit or both are negative in order to mislead the investors by resorting to false signaling.


This study focuses on five corporate actions (dividend announcement, stock split, bonus issue, right issues, buy-back, and right issue) and attempts to determine their impact on shareholders’ wealth. The companies in the S&P BSE 500 index are taken as the total population, and the performance of those with corporate actions is compared to that in the broader universe. The study analyzes the impact by taking the share price of sampled companies for 30 days before and 30 days after the announcement of corporate actions. A paired-sample t-test is used to determine the impact of the corporate actions on share price in the event window period. The study concludes that corporate actions have significant impact on shareholders’ wealth; the level of impact is different for different corporate actions, but it does not differ according to the nature of the industry. The dividend and buy-back have a low level of impact, and bonus issues, rights issues, and stock splits have a high level of impact on shareholders’ wealth. Finally, the study proves that corporate actions are quite relevant to shareholders’ wealth.

This study examines the impact of the ex-day of stock dividend on stock return and volume on Borsa Istanbul stock exchange. The data covers 1,220 stock dividends associated with 305 companies over the period 1997-2018. A positive abnormal return and volume is seen around the ex-day of stock dividend. The cumulative average excess return over market return starts to significantly rise ten days before ex-day and reaches its highest level on the ex-day before falling back in the days following. Our findings show that abnormal return around ex-day is strongly associated with stock dividend pay-out ratio, asset size and a company’s market value. The share of listed companies with higher stock dividend pay-out ratio or lower asset size or lower market capitalization, can generate respectively 5.97%, 6.08% and 5.88% abnormal return over market index return.
