Abstract

This paper investigated the impact of M&As on both the acquiring firms' stock prices and corporate performance by using evidence from 20 Taiwanese corporations. Our data suggest that the accounting performance of Taiwanese acquiring firms failed to meet the stock market's expectation of future improvements in the operations of the acquiring firms. The stock market reacted in favor of the announcements of M&As, however, there is a downward change in the acquiring firms' profitability from premerger to postmerger periods. However we do not find any significant correlation between stock returns and the change in accounting performance, which is different from some previous studies.
