Overview

This study demonstrates how target listing status and acquirer size influence shareholder wealth, suggesting implications for sustainable business models.

Key Points

  • Smaller acquirers earn significantly higher announcement-period cumulative abnormal returns, indicating a size effect in M&A outcomes.
  • Despite higher unadjusted returns for acquisitions of privately held targets, their significance diminishes when controlling for firm fundamentals.
  • Using an event study and multivariate regressions on 155 M&A announcements provides robust insights into shareholder responses.
  • The study highlights the importance of firm-specific fundamentals, strategic fit, and integration capacity in M&A decision-making.
