| Tiivistelmä: | In this paper, open market stock repurchases (hereafter as: stk-reps.) are examined in France. A positive average market reaction to the stk-reps. announcement (here as: ann.) is found. However, the magnitude of the price reaction is found to depend on a number of corporate governance structure measures. The positive aspects of the ann. appear only for a company with a low likelihood of being taken over, and with a low risk of minority shareholder expropriation. Specifically, stk-reps. programmes are good news when the firm is supported by foreign institutional investors, and in the case of controlled firms. |
