Arbitrage Risk and Post‐Earnings‐Announcement Drift

Open access
Mendenhall, Richard R.·2004·The Journal of Business

Abstract

This study examines whether the magnitude of post-earnings-announcement drift is related to the risk faced by arbitrageurs who may view the anomaly as a trading opportunity. Consistent with this hypothesis, the magnitude of the drift is strongly related to the arbitrage risk measure developed by Wurgler and Zhuravskaya (2002). The effect of arbitrage risk is statistically and economically significant under a wide range of specifications. The results suggest that post-earnings-announcement drift represents an underreaction to earnings information and that arbitrage risk impedes arbitrageurs from eliminating it.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
