Abstract

The study investigates the abnormal return rates of securities during the announcement period of stock repurchases, comparing large with small-scale repurchases. The results show that there is a significantly positive abnormal return rate for stock repurchase in large-scale repurchases during the periods (-1,1) and (-3,3) trading days, with statistical significance at a 90% confidence level. On the other hand, for small-scale stock repurchase, during the periods before and after the announcement (-180,180) and (-250,250) trading days, there is a significantly negative abnormal return at confidence levels of 95% and 90% respectively. Additionally, the study finds that the average abnormal return rate across all periods is higher for large-scale compared to small-scale stock repurchases.
