The devil is in the detail? Investors’ mispricing of proxy voting outcomes on M&A deals by Li, Lingwei, Zhang, Huai

“…We find that post-merger abnormal stock returns are significantly higher for acquirers receiving higher approval rates: a one percentage point increase in the approval rate is associated with a 48 basis point increase in the market-adjusted stock return in the year after the merger is completed. Consistent with mispricing, the voting outcome reliably predicts post-merger earnings announcement returns and analyst forecast errors. …”
