Using samples of Chinese listed companies from 2009 to 2023, this study examines the impact of media sentiment on corporate research and development (R&D) manipulation. Findings reveal companies’ tendency to engage in upward (downward) R&D manipulation under positive (negative) media sentiment. Further analysis suggests that upward manipulation is motivated by a desire to cater to investor optimism fostered by positive media sentiment, while downward manipulation is motivated by a desire to alleviate performance pressures owing to negative media sentiment.
