Abstract

This study investigates the reaction of investors to annual earnings releases as reflected in the share price movements of common stocks and volume of trade during the COVID-19 pandemic. Event methodology is employed, and the returns in an event window, defined conventionally as the days before to days after a firm-specific public earnings announcement, are not abnormal. We provide an apparent example where investors did not react to firm-specific positive earnings announcements. This could be influenced by the government in response to COVID-19 as we have seen governments and central banks worldwide quickly enacted sweeping and sizable fiscal and monetary stimulus measures to limit the human and economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. These actions during an economic downturn or crisis have helped to stabilize the economy and increase confidence in the market.
