Corporate response to poor performance: evidence from the UK and Canada

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to investigate the responses of British and Canadian companies to poor performance, as seen in negative stock returns. Moreover, this research sought to examine the relationship between their responses and their characteristics. Data were gathered from a sample of 50 Canadian and 181 British firms with negative stock returns for a minimum of two consecutive years. Findings revealed that capital structure is the major determinant of debt restructuring and bankruptcy filing actions in Canada. In contrast, British companies were more influenced by market value when taking action. Smaller British firms have a greater tendency to sell assets, layoff employees, replace executives, develop financing plans, or acquire if faced by poorly performing stocks. Insiders' share holding was negatively linked to financing.
