It also examines the determining factors of splits, their effects on liquidity and the influence of the market's microstructure in the generating of abnormal retums. The evidence obtained from the Spanish capital market indicates that splits generate an average abnormal retum of about 1%, principally on the day that the split is effected. This result cannot be explained by an increase in quidity. It suggests, rather, that certain microstructure phenomena in the market encourage an increase in abnormal retums. Approximately half of these increased retums could be attributed to two factors: changes in the order flow and an increase in the relative spread, induced by an uneven increase in the ask price with respect to the bid.

The results show a drop in trading volume and depth and an increase in the relative bid-ask spread. We detect a change in trading composition, with an increase in the smallest transactions, mainly on the buyer side of ...

One possible explanation is that investors have overoptimistic expectations regarding future earnings and the underperformance occurs as these expectations are corrected over time. Our central focus is to test this hypothesis for Spanish rights issuing firms, for that, firstly we examine analysts' predictions about future earnings of these companies. We observe that forecasts are unusually favourable and, moreover, the post-offering underperformance is most pronounced when analyst predictions have higher optimistic bias. Secondly, we study the market response to issuing firms' earnings announcements in the post-offering period observing a significant negative reaction. So the evidence in this paper is consistent with the excessive optimism hypothesis about issuing firms.
