Peer firms’ reporting frequency and stock price synchronicity: European evidence
This study investigates whether and how the amount of firm-specific information incorporated into stock prices changes when there is more quarterly, rather than semi-annual, reporting in the peer group. Using a sample of 33,338 European firm-year observations from 2004 to 2017, we find a significantly negative relationship between stock price synchronicity and concentration of quarterly reporting among a firm’s peers. We argue that more public peer disclosure stimulates acquisition of private firm-specific information. Additional tests show that the negative relationship is strongest among firms with semi-annual reporting, opaque earnings, and low institutional ownership. We further decompose the synchronicity measure into market and industry co-movement and find that the former is decreasing while the latter is increasing with more frequent peer reporting.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of International Accounting, Auditing and Taxation publishes articles which deal with most areas of international accounting including auditing, taxation and management accounting. The journal''s goal is to bridge the gap between academic researchers and practitioners by publishing papers that are relevant to the development of the field of accounting. Submissions are expected to make a contribution to the accounting literature, including as appropriate the international accounting literature typically found in JIAAT and other primary US-based international accounting journals as well as in leading European accounting journals. Applied research findings, critiques of current accounting practices and the measurement of their effects on business decisions, general purpose solutions to problems through models, and essays on world affairs which affect accounting practice are all within the scope of the journal.
