Abstract

This paper analyzes the long-run effect on shareholders' wealth and firms' operating performance of the right offering decision in Spain. The evidence shows that the stock price of firms' issuing rights substantially underperform the different benchmarks employed. It has also been observed that these companies experience a decrease in accounting profitability for some pre- to postissue periods. An excessive optimism about the long-term prospects of equity issuers could explain these results.
