Abstract The distress anomaly reflects the abnormally low returns of high credit risk stocks during financial distress. Evidence from stocks and corporate bonds reinforces the anomaly and challenges rationales based on shareholders’ ability to extract value from bondholders, time-varying betas, lottery-type preferences, biased earnings expectations, and limits-to-arbitrage. Moreover, mispricing of distressed stocks and bonds is associated with excess investment and excess external financing. Potential real distortions are materially understated when assessed based only on equity mispricing. We emphasize the important role of corporate bonds in dissecting the distress anomaly, and show that the anomaly is an unresolved puzzle.

The determining force behind the value premium is the matter of debate among the researchers. Some are of the opinion that the financial distress risk determines value premium whereas other theorize that value premium is basically the compensation for operating leverage (investment activity risk). This research provides empirical evidence on this theoretical contradiction by investigating the relationships of financial leverage (FL) and operating leverage (OL) with stock returns, the book to market ratio (B/M), and systematic risk on non-financial sector firms trading at the Pakistan stock exchange (PSE). This research empirically finds significant and direct influence of operating leverage on stock returns, the book to market ratio, and systematic risk respectively. Overall findings provide support for the theoretical models which have a linked book to market effect with operating leverage. Thus, we conclude that investment activity risk seems to be the major factor that determines value premium.

Tujuan penelitian – To examine effect of firm size and market to book ratio on portfolio return.Desain/Metodologi/Pendekatan – Research sample consists of manufacture firm stock listed in Indonesian Stock Exchange 2011-2013. Portfolio return measured by excess return of average 5 highest return and 5 lowest return. Portfolio firm size measured by differences of average return of 5 biggest firm size with 5 smallest firm size. Portfolio book to market ratio measured by differences of average return of 5 highest book to market ratio with 5 lowest book to market ratioTemuan – Based on regression analysis, firm size and book to market ratio have negative effect on portfolio return. The result confirms existence of three factor model in return determination. Investor captures the size effect and financial distress indication of book to market ratio in return estimation and stock investment decision making.Keterbatasan penelitian – This research only used manufacture firm as sample, so the result could not be generalized to all firm population at Indonesia Stock Exchange. This research also did not separate between active stock and inactive stock which were traded monthly, so it probably there was bias return calculation because of the inactive stock.Originality/value – the high of book to market ratio showed that the firm had bad performance and tend to financial distress or poor prospect.

We examine the long-run performance of firms emerging from financial distress in Malaysia. The sample consists of 114 companies listed on the Bursa Malaysia stock exchange that emerged from a financially distressed classification between 2001 and 2014. We investigate whether post-distressed performance is similar to the performance of firms of equivalent size and book-to-market ratio and the market indices. The results suggest that firms emerging from financial distress in Malaysia underperform when compared to the performance of firms similar in size and book-to-market ratio and the market indices. This suggests that the post-restructuring performance of firms on the Bursa Malaysia stock exchange that have emerged from financial distress does not improve.

AbstractStructured products like collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) tend to offer significantly higher yield spreads than corporate bonds (CBs) with the same rating. At the same time, empirical evidence does not indicate that this higher yield is reduced by higher default losses of CLOs. The evidence thus suggests that CLOs offer higher expected returns compared to CB with similar credit risk. This study aims to analyze whether this return difference is captured by asset pricing factors. We show that market risk is the predominant risk factor for both CBs and CLOs. CLO investors, however, additionally demand a premium for their risk exposure towards systemic risk. This premium is inversely related to the rating class of the CLO.
