First Time

The aim of this paper is to investigate the investors’ reaction to environmental actions taken by companies such as the issues of “green bond”. We conduct an event study around the announcement of green bond issuances for all publicly traded companies in the World in the period 2013-2019 (the largest period in literature on this field). Using CARs, we investigate the stock price behavior to green bond issues for 414 listed companies and we demonstrated significant stock price increases around the announcement date of first-time green bond issues. For second issues, the positive stock price reaction to eco-friendly initiatives decreases while it completely disappears for the subsequent issues. From the management perspective, green bond issue seems an eco-friendly action with decreasing marginal benefits, because after the first issue, the market is already aware about the firm’s commitment to green projects.

Dividend Increases

<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>

Stock Price Reaction

Reputational concerns should discipline credit rating agencies (CRAs), eliminate any conflicts of interest, and motivate them to provide unbiased ratings. However, the recent financial crisis confirms models of CRAs’ behavior that predict inflated ratings for complex products and during booms. We test whether CRAs suffered a reputational damage for this behavior. We find strong support in the data for our hypothesis. The stock price reaction to rating revisions is significantly lower after the financial crisis, particularly in the financial sector. In multivariate tests, we find that the stock price reaction is lower, on average, in the post-crisis period by 2.3%.
