CEO ownership and firm value

Article Abstract:

The hypothesis that the ownership of stocks by chief executive officers greatly influences the value of the firm has been investigated. Results show that the rise and fall of firm value depends on the percentage of stocks owned by the CEO. The results also support the hypothesis that at lower levels of ownership the wealth of shareholders are maximized. Moreover, the findings are consistent with the general hypothesis that the structure of ownership impacts the firm value.

Shareholder litigation: share price movements, news releases, and settlement amounts

Article Abstract:

The volatility and market sensitivity for both firms with class action cases and those without are examined in light of the Security and Exchange Commission's Rule 10b, which advocates the right of shareholders to sue firms which materially misled them. Results show that firms with cases are more inclined to have periods of meager price performance than firms without suits. Firms with cases also have a higher incidence of systematic risk in comparison with non-sued firms.
