Prior research suggests that investors value green firms at a premium. We add to this line of research and show that the acquirer’s cumulative abnormal return after the announcement of an acquisition is increasing in the ”greenness” of the target. We find tentative evidence suggesting that this pattern is more pronounced after the 2015 Paris agreement, and is more pronounced for the first acquisition of a green target by the same acquirer.
