Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of intellectual capital (IC) on financial performance (FP) for Indian companies listed on the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy Overall Share Price Index (COSPI). Design/methodology/approach Hypotheses were developed according to theories and literature review. Secondary data were collected from Indian companies listed on the COSPI between 2001 and 2016, and the value-added intellectual coefficient (VAIC) of Pulic (2000) was used to measure IC and its components. A dynamic system generalized method of moments (SGMM) estimator was employed to identify the variables that significantly contribute to firm performance. Findings Indian listed firms appear to be performing well and efficiently utilizing their IC. Overall, human capital had a major impact on firm productivity during the study period. Furthermore, the empirical analysis showed that structural capital efficiency and capital employed efficiency were equally important contributors to firm’s sales growth and market value. The growing importance of the contribution of IC to value creation was consistently reflected in the FP of these Indian companies. Practical implications This study has robust theoretical grounds and employs a validated methodology. The present study extends knowledge of IC among academicians and managers and highlights its contribution to value creation. The findings may help stakeholders and policymakers in developing countries properly reallocate intellectual resources. Originality/value This study is the first study to evaluate IC and its relationship with traditional measures of firm performance among Indian listed firms using dynamic SGMM and VAIC models.

A recent study assessed the investor performance of the Australian drug development biotech (DDB) sector over a 15-year period from 2003 to 2018. The current study builds on that research and extends the analysis to 2020, using a 10-year period starting 2010, to exclude the impact of the global financial crisis in 2008/09. Based on a value-weighted portfolio of all 41 DDB firms, the overall sector delivered a negative annualized return of -4.1%. Individual firm performance was also assessed using the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in share price over the period as a measure of investor outcomes. On this basis 68% of firms produced negative CAGRs over the period, and of the 32% of firms that produced positive CAGRs, six firms produced CAGRs greater than 20% per annum and in three cases of recently-listed firms, the CAGR’s were greater than 50%. Overall however, the sector overall delivered very poor investor returns and despite a relatively large number of listed biotech firms, Australian biotechnology continues to be small and weak in terms of its contribution to global biotechnology industrialization. As such it lacks the critical mass to grow a robust bioeconomy based on drug development, which remains the standard-bearer of biotechnology industrialization.

The COVID-19 pandemic has given an impact on the health of banks in Indonesia, one of which is the West Java and Banten Bank (BJBR). This study aims to assess the health of BJBR before and during the covid-19 pandemic and to find the intrinsic value of BJBR shares that can be used as an evaluation of the company's performance. This research is a descriptive quantitative research. BJBR health analysis was carried out using the Risk Based Rating or RGEC and the intrinsic value analysis was carried out using the Dividend Discount Model (DDM). The authors used data from the 2018-2020 of BJBR financial statements. The results showed that in general, the soundness of BJBR was very healthy and the intrinsic value of BJBR's shares was Rp. 1,659.33 or BJBR's share price is currently sold below its intrinsic value. This research is expected to provide information on the impact of the pandemic on banking, especially BJBR so that the Government and the Financial Services Authority can provide support to banks. In addition, this research can be used as a reference by investors who are interested in BJBR shares. Pandemi covid-19 telah memberikan dampak pada kesehatan perbankan di Indonesia, salah satunya Bank Jawa Barat dan Banten (BJBR). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk untuk menilai kesehatan BJBR sebelum dan selama pandemi covid-19 serta untuk mencari nilai intrinsik saham BJBR yang dapat digunakan sebagai evaluasi kinerja perusahaan. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kuantitatif deskriptif. Analisis kesehatan BJBR dilakukan dengan menggunakan Risk Based Rating atau RGEC dan analisis nilai intrinsik dilakukan dengan Dividend Discount Model (DDM). Penulis menggunakan data laporan keuangan BJBR tahun 2018-2020. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa secara umum, tingkat kesehatan BJBR adalah sangat sehat dan nilai intrinsik saham BJBR adalah Rp1.659,33 atau harga saham BJBR saat ini dijual di bawah nilai intrinsiknya. Penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan informasi dampak pandemic terhadap perbankan, khususnya BJBR agar Pemerintah dan Ototritas Jasa Keuangan dapat memberikan dukungan kepada bank.

We utilize the mandatory corporate social responsibility (CSR) disclosure regulation in China as an exogenous shock to evaluate the impact of such disclosures on investors as end-users of accounting information based on the analysis of share price responses to earnings announcements. Specifically, we observe that firms with mandated CSR disclosure experience an increase in earnings response coefficient and a decrease in post-earnings announcement drift. Furthermore, these effects are greater among CSR-sensitive industries, state-owned enterprises, and lower accounting quality firms. Additional analysis also reveals that these effects vary by the quality of CSR disclosure and CSR performance. These findings suggest that CSR disclosure provides incremental information that are useful for investors to assess firms’ future prospects and uncertainties. A broader implication of our study is that mandating CSR disclosure could improve market information efficiency and benefit outside investors.


This study focuses on five corporate actions (dividend announcement, stock split, bonus issue, right issues, buy-back, and right issue) and attempts to determine their impact on shareholders’ wealth. The companies in the S&P BSE 500 index are taken as the total population, and the performance of those with corporate actions is compared to that in the broader universe. The study analyzes the impact by taking the share price of sampled companies for 30 days before and 30 days after the announcement of corporate actions. A paired-sample t-test is used to determine the impact of the corporate actions on share price in the event window period. The study concludes that corporate actions have significant impact on shareholders’ wealth; the level of impact is different for different corporate actions, but it does not differ according to the nature of the industry. The dividend and buy-back have a low level of impact, and bonus issues, rights issues, and stock splits have a high level of impact on shareholders’ wealth. Finally, the study proves that corporate actions are quite relevant to shareholders’ wealth.

Purpose This paper aims to examine the impact of general elections on the stock returns of the politically connected group affiliated firms of Pakistan. Design/methodology/approach This study uses the market model to assess the impact of political connections (PCs) on abnormal stock returns, before and after election events. We have used share price data of non-financial firms of Pakistan for the years 2008-2013. Findings It has been found that behavior of cumulative average abnormal returns (CAAR) is significantly different for standalone and politically connected group affiliated firms. The results reveal that CAARs of politically connected group affiliated firms have experienced less deviation as compared to stand alone firms. Therefore, it is argued that politically connected group firms may reduce the impact of political uncertainty on stock returns in comparison to stand alone firms. Practical implications This study is helpful for policy regulators of Pakistan to devise appropriate policies to maintain a level playing field for politically connected and standalone firms. Originality/value This study provides a new dimension to understand the role and association of PCs and general elections with stock markets returns.

Over the past few decades, numerous research across the globe has been conducted to examine the impact of firm performance on its stock return. The findings of these studies have been varied. In spite of the long standing research in this area, several attempt towards exploring this relationship has led to limited success owing largely to the existence of volatility across different stock markets. The variance in the volatility in these markets make it extremely difficult to obtain a uniform measure. A volatile stock market makes it difficult for the accounting and financial variables to accurately predict the stock returns (Feris & Erin, 2018).  The primary aim of this paper is aimed to investigate whether financial ratios can be used as a predictor of stock returns in the context of United Arab Emirates (UAE). The sample of the study includes thirty companies from the Dubai Financial Market (DFM) and Abu Dhabi stock exchange (ADX). Data is collected for the period of 2017. This research comprises of five independent variables namely, Earning Per Share ratio (EPS), Price Earning ratio (PE), Return on Equity ratio (ROE), Dividend Yield ratio (DY) and Debt Equity ratio (DE) and stock return is taken as the dependent variable. The study examines which among the given ratios can better predict stock returns both in the short run and the long run. The analysis is based on the regression analysis and correlation matrix. The results of correlation test revealed less multicollinearity between the variables and the regression results showed that Dividend Yield and the Return on Equity are statistically significant to predict the stock returns. However, Earning Per Share, Price Earning and Debt Equity could not predict the stock returns and thus can be safely considered as statistically insignificant. The t-stats test and p-value analysis were key indicators for arriving at the conclusion. The study can significantly benefit investors who can examine closely the dividend yield and return on equity while selecting an optimal portfolio.

This study aims to examine the impact of employee benefitsaccounting (direct and indirect compensation) on (market price, volume of credit facilities and volume of deposits). The study community is represented by commercialbanks listed on the Amman Stock Exchange (ASE), all the continuous banks whose financial data were available during the study period (2007-2015) were selected represented in (13) banks. In order to realize the objectives of the study, the study was based on qualitative data and analytical descriptive method (Panel Data), (E-Views) economic statistics software was used to test hypotheses. The results of the study showed that there is a statisticallysignificant impact on both typesof employees compensations as a whole (direct and indirect) on the market share price, the volume of credit facilities and the volume of deposits. While the results of the study confirmed that the indirect compensation has not got an impact on the volume of customer deposits when it is measured separately. Finally, the study recommended the need to apply good systems that take into account the interest of both the employers and employees for the positive impact on the market share price, the volume of credit facilities and the volume of deposits.
