SEOs and Long-Term Performance: Evidence from the UK Equities Market

• This research project investigates, using UK stock market data, the famous “equity issuance puzzle” and the reasons why stock market prices tend to underperform after an equity issuance event. The main finding of the project suggests the presence of managerial hubris which allows the exploitation of investors’ overconfidence regarding companies’ future potential.
