Trading in the stock market occur due to differences in opinion on the expected value of the securities. In the other side, asymmetric information between investors and companies caused the stock price does not reflect the real price. So, asymmetric information should be reduced. Information by securities analysts is an information that is expected to reduce that. This study investigates the performance of securities analysts through its role in reducing asymmetric information. This is motivated by some previous studies that stated that the Indonesian capital market is inefficient, because high levels of asymmetric information. Analysts is considered as inform market participant who can reduce the asymmetric information so as to make capital market to be efficient. The role of securities analysts is seen through the product. There are stock recommendation and earnings forecast revision. Testing the consistency of the analyst's stock recommendations and earnings forecast revision before testing their impact on asymmetric information. The results showed that output in the form of stock securities analysts and earnings forecast recommendation are consistent but has not been able to reduce the asymmetry of information that occurs between investors and companies.

<p>The three basic dividend policy theories have a completely different approach to describing the influence of dividends payment on stock price, and on the value of the company. Numerous studies conducted in this area have led to almost as many derived dividend policy theories, which are more or less related to the basic three. As one of them Wang, Manry &amp; Wandler (2011) specify the dividend signalling theory, which is based particularly on the assumption of the asymmetry of information between the company management and the shareholders and in recent decades it has been studied by many authors, who mostly concluded that dividend increase has a positive stock price reaction, and vice versa, that dividend decrease results in stock price falls (as cited in Ross, 1977; Leland and Pyle, 1977; Grinblatt et al., 1984; Baker and Phillips, 1993; Rankine and Stice, 1997; Bechmann and Raaballe, 2007). For the purposes of our analysis we adopted the methodology of foreign researches and checked the existence of the dividend signalling theory in the Slovenian stock market. The Slovenian stock market is one of developing markets, and is particularly specific due to its small size and illiquidity. Our research resulted in no statistically significant stock price increases from company dividend increases, whereby we have refuted the research hypothesis and, consequently, the dividend signalling theory in the Slovenian stock market in the described period.</p>

This paper tackles an interesting question; namely, whether dispersion in analysts' earnings forecasts reflects uncertainty about firms' future economic performance. It improves on the extant literature in three ways. First, it uses detailed analyst earnings forecast data to estimate analyst forecast dispersion and revision. The contrasting evidence of Morse, Stephan, and Stice (1991) and Brown and Han (1992), who respectively used consensus and detailed analyst data to examine the impact of earnings announcements on forecast dispersion, suggest that detailed data are preferable for determining the data set on which analysts' forecasts are conditioned. Second, it relates forecast dispersion to both analyst earnings forecast revision and stock price reaction to the subsequent earnings announcement. Previous studies related forecast dispersion to either analyst forecast revision (e.g., Stickel 1989) or to subsequent stock price movements (e.g., Daley et al. [1988]), but not to both revision and returns. Third, it includes the interim quarters along with the annual report. In contrast, previous research focused on the annual report, ignoring the interims (Daley et al. [1988]).

Purpose This paper aims to examine empirically the role of toeholds in reducing asymmetric information in mergers and acquisitions by establishing a relationship between the toehold and some relevant characteristics of the acquiring and the target firm. Design/methodology/approach A regression analysis is conducted to examine the relation between the dependent variable (the toehold) and a set of independent variables. A multinomial logit model is used to test for the occurrence of toeholds. A probit selection model and two-step Heckman correction tests are used to correct the data and to check for robustness of the results. Findings The regression results for acquisitions with prior toeholds are consistent with the studied hypotheses that asymmetric information is more observed in foreign acquisitions, in different industries, with tender offers and with higher levels of intangible assets. A negative relationship is found between toehold size and the number of competing bidders. Originality/value Consistent with previous literature, the study finds that majority of bidders abstain from purchasing a toehold before entering a bid contest. The study also emphasizes the role of intangible assets in assessing the efficacy of toeholds under asymmetric information. The ratio of target intangible assets to target total serves as a proxy for asymmetric information. Regression results are consistent with the hypotheses that asymmetry of information is observed when the acquiring and the target firm operate in different countries and industries.

Market anomalies after initial public offerings are a subject of extensive scientific research. One of such anomalies is underpricing, which refers to an increase of stock price in relation to the offering price shortly after stock issue. The occurrence of underpricing has been verified in many markets; however, the reasons for this phenomenon have not been yet conclusively established. The existence of information asymmetry in the capital market is one of the most popular assumptions applied in the studies in an attempt to explain the reasons why issuers discount the price of their offers. The purpose of this paper is to present the explanatory underpricing theories which are based on the asymmetry of information present between market participants, and to summarize the explanatory variables of underpricing that stem from the theory.

In an efficient capital market, the prices of securities always fully reflect all available information implying that prices always reflect the fundamental values. When there is under reaction or over reaction to new information, competition among the arbitrageurs quickly brings the price of an asset back to its fair value. But, if the asymmetry of information about a stock is high and there is a ‘limit to arbitrage', sentiment of the noise traders is likely to influence the price of that stock. This chapter aims at studying the role of market sentiment, during the period which starts with June 2003 and ends with July 2011, in influencing the return from investment in small capitalization stocks listed on Indian stock exchanges. We have found the presence of ARCH (1) in the time series on returns. Market sentiment, rate of interest and inflation are found to have significant influence on return from investment in small capitalization stocks. The presence of month effects in returns from such stocks has also been detected.

Law Number 34/2014 concerning Hajj Financial Management, mandates to establish a special hajj financial management body (Hajj Fund Management Agency, BPKH) tasked with managing the revenue, development, expenditure, and accountability of Hajj finance. BPKH has the authority to manage hajj funds around IDR 115 trillion as of April 2019. BPKH must place these funds into sharia investment instruments, taking into account safety, prudence, value of benefits and liquidity. According to Government Regulation Number 5/2018 (PP No. 5/2018), a minimum of 15% of the pilgrimage funds will be placed on the Islamic capital market. The form can be State Sharia Securities, Bank Indonesia Sharia Certificates, sharia shares, sukuk, mutual funds and various other sharia securities recognized by the Financial Services Authority (OJK). BPKH's investment in the Islamic Capital Market will gradually increase to 35% in 2021 with the amount estimated to reach IDR 47.35 trillion. The strong role of the increasing Islamic Capital Market in forming market capitalization (the Composite Stock Price Index, IHSG) indicates that the Islamic Capital Market has a large role in driving economic growth in Indonesia. So BPKH investment has a strategic position in the effort to develop the Islamic Capital Market in Indonesia.
