Wealth effects of foreign expansion by U.S. banks
Article Abstract:
The market values of US banks are examined to determine if they are affected by the banks' expansion in overseas markets. Findings show that shareholders of American multinational banks observe unusual returns of -0.17% when the banks' plans to go global are made public. This indicates that the benefits of foreign expansion are less than the costs and risks associated with international diversification. The results also show an inverse relationship between abnormal returns and post-announcement adjustments in the total variance of returns and in the unsystematic risk of multinational banks.
