Abstract
This paper investigates the effect of bankruptcy announcements on the stocks of bankrupt firms and their competitors. In our intraday analysis, both bankrupt firms and their competitors suffer large losses in the of the bankruptcy announcements. We also find contagion and competitive effects exist in intraday data and these effects will affect stock price reaction in different ways. Candidates for the contagion effect experience a large significant loss immediately following the announcement, and their trading intensity increases first and then decreases. However, contrary to expectation, candidates for the competitive effect also have a significant negative return, supporting that the competitive effect is dominated by the contagion effect in the intraday data. We also find that the trading intensity of firms subject to potential competitive effects does not change so much. Moreover, we investigate the order imbalances and discover that the order imbalances tend to be negative for bankrupt firms and their competitors after the bankrupt announcements and the contagion and competitive effects do not influence the behavior of the order imbalances. |
