We examine the behavior of stock prices at the time of post-1974–75 LIFO adoption announcements. We exploit recent theoretical and empirical developments in the LIFO adoption literature in an attempt to resolve some of the mixed findings in Hand (1993). We study LIFO adoptions announced prior to as well as at the time of annual earnings announcements. Previous research has mostly centered on 1974–75 adoptions made at the time of annual earnings announcements. Our study of LIFO adoptions announced prior to annual earnings announcement dates enables us to provide evidence on whether the early announcement of a LIFO adoption is used by firms to signal positive information about earnings growth. Collectively, our results suggest that in explaining the market response to LIFO adoption announcements, extant models of the LIFO adoption decision do not fully capture the richness of differing inflationary environments or of alternative disclosure times.

<p>The three basic dividend policy theories have a completely different approach to describing the influence of dividends payment on stock price, and on the value of the company. Numerous studies conducted in this area have led to almost as many derived dividend policy theories, which are more or less related to the basic three. As one of them Wang, Manry &amp; Wandler (2011) specify the dividend signalling theory, which is based particularly on the assumption of the asymmetry of information between the company management and the shareholders and in recent decades it has been studied by many authors, who mostly concluded that dividend increase has a positive stock price reaction, and vice versa, that dividend decrease results in stock price falls (as cited in Ross, 1977; Leland and Pyle, 1977; Grinblatt et al., 1984; Baker and Phillips, 1993; Rankine and Stice, 1997; Bechmann and Raaballe, 2007). For the purposes of our analysis we adopted the methodology of foreign researches and checked the existence of the dividend signalling theory in the Slovenian stock market. The Slovenian stock market is one of developing markets, and is particularly specific due to its small size and illiquidity. Our research resulted in no statistically significant stock price increases from company dividend increases, whereby we have refuted the research hypothesis and, consequently, the dividend signalling theory in the Slovenian stock market in the described period.</p>

The main purpose of this study is to provide empirical evidence of the relationship betweeninvestors’ responses to two events, which are, (1) earnings anouncements, and (2) technicalanalysis signals, as competing information. This study is motivated by Francis, et al. (2002),whose study used stock analyst’s recommendations as competing information in the U.S stockmarket. To extend that idea, this study uses technical analysis signals as competing informationin the Indonesian stock market. Using Indonesian data from 2007-2012, this study shows thatthere are price reactions on the day of a technical analysis signal’s release, which is prior toearnings announcements. It means that investors react to the emergence of competinginformation. Reactions on earnings announcements also produce a negative relationship withthe reaction to a technical analysis signal before an earnings announcement. This study givesevidence about the importance of technical analysis as competing information to earningsannouncements.Keywords: competing information, earnings announcements, technical analysis, price reaction
