Do acquirers’ stock prices fully react to the acquisition announcement of listed versus unlisted target firms? Out-of-sample evidence from Spain
2014
Previous results are ambiguous about whether prices fully reflect value creation or destruction at the time of the acquisition announcement when samples are split into listed and unlisted target firms. We find that the Spanish market fully reacts to the acquisition announcement (showing value creation only for unlisted target firm acquisitions), except for the smallest bidders of public targets since we find significant positive abnormal returns for a 24-month post-acquisition window. This evidence is consistent with investors extrapolating the performance of large acquirers of public firm to smaller ones and, therefore, only identifying value creation in the long term.

We find that acquirers of unlisted targets fully react at the announcement date in high valuation periods, meanwhile the underreaction of listed target bidders at the moment of the announcement in low valuation markets is the result of return continuations. In addition, we find that the market reaction do not depend on recent merger history. Therefore, we provide evidence that bidder reaction to acquisitions is not consistent with the predictions of market sentiment (optimism) after c…

This note examines whether prices fully reflect value creation or destruction at the time of the acquisition announcement when samples are split into listed and unlisted target firms as previous international results are ambiguous about this subject. We find that the Spanish market fully react to the acquisition announcement (showing value creation only for unlisted target firms acquisitions), except for the smallest bidders of public targets since we find significant positive abnormal returns for a 24-month post-acquisition window when event portfolio returns are computed equally-weighted but insignificant abnormal returns when value-weighted returns are computed. This evidence is consiste…
