O desempenho financeiro das empresas e os stock splits

O desempenho financeiro das empresas e os stock splits

Abstract

O principal objetivo deste estudo é perceber qual a relação entre o desempenho das empresas e os Stock Splits (SS), sendo que o desempenho será representado por duas medidas, o ROA (Return on Assets ou Rendibilidade dos Ativos) e os Resultados (EARNINGS). Esta análise será feita através da estimação de duas regressões lineares múltiplas em que se pretende aferir se existe uma significância estatística dos SS na explicação das duas variáveis dependentes, o ROA e os Resultados. A análise incidiu sobre uma amostra final de 437 empresas pertencentes ao índice S&P500 e entre os anos de 2005 e 2015, inclusive, e com um total de 235 SS efetuados ao longo dos 11 anos de análise. Os resultados encontrados demonstraram que é possível verificar que a variável SS revela ter uma significância estatística a 5% apenas na primeira regressão (ROA) enquanto na segunda regressão (EARNINGS) deixa de ter uma significância estatística para os Resultados das empresas estudadas, o que revela que para a primeira regressão há evidências de que existe uma relação linear positiva entre a variável SS e a variável ROA. O resultado empírico poderá ser considerado um suporte para a teoria da sinalização, sendo que esta teoria tem como hipótese principal que os gestores decidem dividir as suas ações para sinalizarem o mercado de que as suas empresas irão ter desempenhos e resultados futuros favoráveis.

The main purpose of this study is to understand what is the relationship between companies’ performance and Stock Splits (SS) and where performance will be represented by two measures, ROA and Earnings (EARNINGS). This analysis was made through two multiple linear regressions where we want to assess if there is a statistical significance of SS for the explanation of the two variable dependents, ROA and Earnings. The analysis was done for a final sample of 437 companies from index S&P500 and between the years of 2005 and 2015, inclusive, and with a total of 235 SS done over the 11 years of period analysis. Results found showed that the variable SS has a statistical significance at 5% just for the first regression (ROA) while that for the second regression (EARNINGS) there is no longer a statistical significance for the Earnings of studied companies, which shows that for the first regression there are evidences that there is a positive linear relation between variable SS and variable ROA. This empirical result could be acknowledge as a support for the signaling theory, where this theory has as main hypothesis that managers decide to split their shares to signal the market that their companies will have favorable future performances and earnings.
