In this volume, Sharon H. Garrison explores the impact of
corporate events such as mergers, proxy fights, and lawsuits on the
price of a company's stocks and, therefore, on the true owners of a
corporation--the shareholders. Based upon her own research as well
as that of others in the field, the author evaluates the probable
effects of major internal and external corporate events and
provides advice on the best investment and corporate strategies to
be employed when such situations exist. She explains the basics of
financial markets, describes complicated valuation concepts in
clear and jargon-free language, shows how to measure the impact of
information, and identifies valuable sources of financial
information.
Following a general introduction which defines corporate events
and how they affect shareholders, Garrison examines the concepts of
markets, value, risk, and return. She demonstrates how to measure
the impact of corporate events on a firM's stock price, and
assesses the various sources of information about an event. She
then discusses in detail the types of corporate events that can
have a profound impact on stock prices: proxy fights; dividends,
stock splits, and repurchase programs; key executive death;
dissolution; mergers and divestitures; and bankruptcy. Each chapter
provides actual case examples as well as the applicable research
data. Must reading for institutional and private investors, this
book will also be of significant interest to corporate executives
who may be faced with management responsibilities during a planned
corporate event such as a stock repurchase program or an unplanned
disaster like the Union Carbide incident in Bhopal or the Tylenol
poisonings.
