The paper explores the relationship between accounting information and stock returns of the companies listed on the Athens Stock Exchange (ASE) in the period 1998–2008. Publicly available financial data on the companies included in the ASE during 1998–2008 have been collected and processed. The data sample consists of 245 companies and varies from 2,166 to 1,441 firm-year observations. The research methodology has been based on the extension of the model introduced by Kothari and Sloan (1992) and investigates whether the level of earnings divided by price at the beginning of the stock return period is associated with returns in the context of ‘prices lead earnings’ using annual and quarterly data. Cross-sectional regression analysis points to a significant relationship between earnings and returns on measurement windows of one year and longer. Similar results have been found in the case of a cumulative model where earnings are aggregated up to four years; however, relationship in the short measurement window up to three quarters has resulted in low earnings response coefficients.

In the present paper, the relationship between corporate governance mechanisms of a firm and stock returns triggered by insider trading announcements is examined. Event study methodology has been used to evaluate the influence of 636 insider trading announcements performed by executives of 14 listed firms in the Athens Stock Exchange, that operate in the technology sector, during the period 2007-2013. The relationship between cumulative abnormal stock returns (CARs), caused by the announcements, and corporate governance characteristics, was then examined for different time windows, both for sales and purchases of stocks by insiders. Our findings suggest that insider trading, especially in purchases, performed by CEOs and members of the Boards of Directors, has a significant effect on stock returns in the long run. More specifically concentrated ownership structures and control were found to have a negative/positive effect in abnormal stock returns of the firms only in long-term periods of time following the announcement of purchases/sales.

We examine the valuation impact of changes in the accounting procedures and estimates underlying reported financial data in the year of the change as well as in the postchange years. Since most accounting changes have undisclosed effect on financial variables in subsequent years in addition to the earnings impact disclosed in the year of the change, an accounting change might be motivated by its long-term valuation effect, even if investors are cognizant of the initial earnings impact and fully account for it in the year of the change. This conjecture is empirically examined for the first time in this study. Our tests are based on a cross-sectional examination of the valuation impact of the earnings effect of accounting changes in the year of the change and a longitudinal examination of the behavior of returns in the postchange years. We also provide descriptive evidence indicating that earnings management is a managerial motive for changing accounting techniques. Cross-sectionally, for income-increasing accounting changes, our results show that investors' valuations seem to reflect a concern for the reduced quality of earnings, as reflected by smaller earnings response coefficients and R2s. However, the decline is not attributable specifically to the earnings effect of the accounting change. Similarly, the earnings effect of income-decreasing changes does not have valuation impact in the year of the accounting change. Although investors appear to largely ignore the accounting changes in the year they are made, our longitudinal test does show that firms undertaking accounting changes experience different long-term returns relative to other firms in the postchange period. However, income-increasing accounting changes are associated with negative valuation changes in the postchange period, rather than the positive impact expected from the conjecture stated above. Over the five years following the year of the accounting change, abnormal returns of income-decreasing firms exceed those of income-increasing firms substantially, with the latter firms experiencing large negative returns over the period. We demonstrate a trading rule that, ex post, exploits the information contained in the accounting changes to yield large abnormal stock returns. The results suggest that income-increasing accounting changes are perhaps the first visible sign indicating other hidden, fundamental problems that get revealed in subsequent years.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of profitability and earnings per share on stock returns and the role of size as a moderating variable in state-owned companies listed in the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) in the period of 2011-2016. By using purposive sampling, the number of samples included 18 companies. Method was conducted by downloading summary of financial statements in the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The research began with classical assumption test, multiple linear regression analysis was done with the absolute difference test. The research found that profitability had no effect on stock return. Earnings per share and size had a significant negative effect on stock return. The role of size as a moderating variable strengthened the relationship of earnings per share with stock returns, but it did not play a role in the relationship of profitability with stock returns.

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to examine the factors that influence the earnings response coefficient consisting of leverage, profitability, and investment opportunities that are moderated by accounting conservatism in companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in the period 2011-2017. The selection of a sample of 49 year data was used with the purposive sampling method. The results of this study indicate that, leverage has a negative effect on earnings response coefficients. Profitability, investment opportunity sets and accounting conservatism have no significant effect on earnings response coefficients. Conservatism accounting does not moderate the relationship between leverage and profitability to the earnings response coefficient. Conservative accounting moderates the relationship between investment opportunities set at the earnings response coefficient. ABSTRAK Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menguji faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi koefisien respon laba yang terdiri dari leverage, profitabilitas, dan peluang investasi yang dimoderasi oleh konservatisme akuntansi pada perusahaan yang terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia pada periode 2011-2017. Pemilihan sampel sejumlah 49 data tahun digunakan dengan metode purposive sampling. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa, leverage berpengaruh negatif terhadap koefisien respon laba. Profitabilitas, set kesempatan investasi dan konservatisme akuntansi tidak berpengaruh signifikan terhadap koefisien respon laba. Akuntansi konservatisme tidak memoderasi hubungan antara leverage dan profitabilitas terhadap koefisien respons laba. Akuntansi konservatisme memoderasi hubungan antara peluang investasi yang ditetapkan pada koefisien respons laba. JEL Classification: M41, G11
