摘要:
We show that
firms manage their earnings downwards when their industry peers file for
initial public offerings (IPOs). The downward accruals reverse if there are no
peers attempting an IPO. This effect is stronger if peers poise a bigger threat
to the incumbents and if industries are more competitive or informationally
opaque. When incumbents engage in more aggressive downward earnings management,
peer firms suffer from lower offer prices, raise smaller amount of capital, and
are more likely to withdraw from the offering. They also invest less, hoard
more cash, and experience lower profitability post IPO. Our results highlight
the role of strategic disclosure on product market competition. Endogeneity of
going-public activity and choice of proxies for earnings management and
industry classification do not appear to drive our findings.
