This setting provides a unique opportunity to examine whether market prices of target stocks reflect the price reducing impact of impending acquirer dividends. We find evidence that target stock returns on the acquirer ex-day are negatively related to the size of the dividend payments, indicating an incomplete adjustment on the last cum-day. However, given the size of typical quarterly dividends, the magnitude of the estimated 30% incomplete adjustment to the dividend does not represent a viable arbitrage opportunity. Examining a longer window, we find that roughly 70% of the acquirer dividend is incorporated into the target stock price in the period two days after the dividend announcement to the ex-day. Overall, our results are consistent with target stock prices adjusting slowly over time to reflect impending acquirer dividends.</p>","PeriodicalId":47584,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Financial Research","volume":"48 3","pages":"1067-1100"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144935305","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We also find that the signaling impacts of dividend changes on financial strength are asymmetric for these two groups as a decrease (increase) in dividends is more powerful than an increase (decrease) for banks (industrials). This suggests that dividend cuts send a more significant negative signal of bank financial strength than similar decreases by industrial firms, and that dividend increases say more about industrials' improvements in financial strength than those by banks. Similar to dividends, share repurchases are indications of financial strength for industrials but not for banks.
