Stock market reaction to Corporate Announcements

Information conveyed by the corporate to their shareholders and general public are known as Corporate Announcements.

Hence, a better understanding of the Corporate Announcements is required for the investors to decide on whether to buy or sell a particular stock. The research carried out by the authors will give the answer for all your queries with reference to corporate announcements.
