THE EFFECT OF TAKEOVER DEFENSES ON LONG TERM AND SHORT TERM ANALYSTS’ EARNINGS FORECASTS: THE CASE OF POISON PILLS
Download This ArticleThomas A. Turk, Jeremy Goh, Candace E. Ybarra
Abstract
This study examined the effect of poison pill adoption on long term and short earnings forecasts by security analysts. Our results provide no evidence of significant revisions in one-year or five-year earnings forecasts following the adoption of poison pills. We do find evidence, however, that firms adopt poison pills following a period of significant negative revisions in earnings forecasts. Our results suggest that poison pill adoptions may be a response to downward revisions in earnings forecasts.
