Abstract

Blockholding multiple firms within an industry generates an information advantage for institutional investors, who can better differentiate between the industry-wide and firm-specific nature of bad news released by peer firms and avoid selling on false spillover signals (i.e., “smart exit”). Empirically, we document that industry common ownership reduces future firm-level stock price crash risk. Our results can be explained by the attenuated spillover from industry peers' firm-specific bad news, as a complement to the monitoring effect that reduces the focal firm's hoarding of bad news. Our results suggest that the presence of industry common owners provides a stabilizing effect against stock price contagion.
