L'auteure examine les mécanismes d'ajustement de la structure du capital des entreprises qui subissent d'importantes modifications du levier financier. Ces entreprises s'ajustent à des rythmes différents selon que leur ratio d'endettement augmente ou diminue beaucoup. Cette asymétrie du rythme d'ajustement ne résulte pas de la présence d'écarts entre les ratios cibles d'endettement ni de différences dans la composition sectorielle des échantillons. La vitesse de l'ajustement apparaît plutôt influencée par les possibilités avantageuses de financement sur les marchés boursiers. Dans certaines entreprises, la persistance de ces possibilités ralentit le rééquilibrage.
This paper studies capital structure adjustment mechanisms of firms that experience substantial changes in leverage. Adjustments appear to be asymmetric among firms with large increases and those with large decreases in debt ratios. The different adjustments are not due to differences in leverage targets or industry distributions between the samples. Speeds of adjustment are found to be affected by market timing opportunities. The persistence of equity market timing opportunities slows some firms' rebalancing process.
