Abstract

ABSTRACT The recent establishment and popularity of professional esports leagues, coupled with the public listing of the Denmark-based esports team Astralis Group, presents an opportunity to assess whether wins and losses impact a team`s stock price in nontraditional sports. We provide empirical evidence that wins in championship matches impact stock returns for Astralis in a regression-based event study. This suggests that investors perceive championship wins as an indicator of future earnings growth of the group.
