| Tiivistelmä: | This study examines the decision relevance and timeliness of accounting earnings (hereafter as: acc-e.) in Saudi Arabia during the 1995-1999 sample period. The empirical results suggest that the publication of acc-e. does not cause significant revision to the market assessment of future cash flows of Saudi firms. On the other hand, it appears that the publication of acc-e. leads individual investors to revise their security holdings. However, this evidence is limited to cases where firms reported profit. The empirical results further suggest that acc-e. are timely in terms of their association with security returns and that increasing the measurement interval significantly improves this association. |
