Information revelation via takeovers in correlated environments

Article Abstract:

Market share prices of rival firms to a takeover target have a propensity to increase at the time of the announcement of the bid. This occurrence can be explained as a normal share price reaction of shareholders when the bidder's knowledge about the value of the target is not known. Bidders are more inclined to make an offer if the corporation's established value is high and only if they have information advantage about the target firm's environment over other investors. A takeover bid, therefore, signals positive information about a corporation's environment.
