Asset acquisition
n=186as of 2026-07-09
Filings on acquiring real estate, equipment or securities.
| Window | Benchmark | n | Mean abnormal return | Median | q value | Significant |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Event day | BHAR | 165 | +0.66% | +0.30% | 0.089 | Yes |
| 5 trading days after | BHAR | 152 | +1.95% | +0.68% | 0.026 | Yes |
| 20 trading days after | BHAR | 77 | +6.24% | +2.23% | 0.012 | Yes |
Method: the filing's public-availability date is day 0, with a conservative entry on the following trading day. CAR (cumulative abnormal return) is estimated with a market model and calibrated by a placebo test that keeps the event dates but draws random same-day tickers. BHAR (buy-and-hold abnormal return) is measured against size- and liquidity-matched control stocks. All tests carry a multiple-testing correction (BH-FDR). Where the two benchmarks disagree, both are shown as they are — we do not pick the flattering one.
