Abstract: | This paper provides new evidence on the difference of the Finnish stock market reaction to earnings announcement between the firms with naturally smoothed and non-smoothed income stream. To investigate natural smoothing, the reported earnings figures are adjusted for management's intentional smoothing. regarding the firms with non-smoothed income, the results suggest that the post-announcement period unexpected return of firms with positive earnings surprises is significantly positive, while the return of firms reporting negative earnings surprises is significantly negative. |
