FE Gerda Repeckaite Evaluati ISM UNIVERSITY OF MANAGEMENT AND ECONOMICS MASTER OF SCIENCE IN FINANCIAL ECONOMICS PROGRAMME Gerda Repe čkait ė MASTER'S THESIS EVALUATION OF BALTIC STOCK EXCHANGES’ EFFICIENCY Supervisor Dr. N. Ma čiulis 2010 _ ____________ _ Reviewer 2010 _ _____________ VILNIUS, 2010 Evaluation of Baltic Stock Exchanges’ Efficiency 2 ABSTRACT Repe čkait ė, G. Evaluation of Baltic Stock Exchanges’ efficiency [Manuscript]: Master Thesis: economics. Vilnius, ISM University of Management and Economics, 2010. In this Master‘s Thesis the Baltic Stock Exchange’s (Lithuanian, Latvian and Estonian) efficiency is valued for the period of 2004-2009. This thesis aims to evaluate the reaction of Baltic stock exchange to quarterly financial statement announcements. To reach this aim the concept of market efficiency is analyzed and related theory reviewed. The unanticipated content of quarterly financial announcements, the speed of Baltic Stock Exchanges’ reaction and adjustment to analyzed announcements are analyzed. The Baltic stock exchanges’ participants ability evaluate the stocks prices correctly also is analyzed. For this purpose the traditional short term event study is employed. The categories of the Good and Bad news were analyzed using non parametric Wilcoxon Signed Ranks and Sign tests. The major empirical research results are as follows. Firstly it was found that the announcements of the quarterly financial reports do have the unanticipated information in all Baltic Stock Exchanges. Secondly it was indicated that the Baltic Stock Exchanges are able to adjust to the information provided by the quarterly financial announcements within one day. Thus the semi- strong form of market efficiency was not rejected for Estonian and Lithuanian Stock Exchanges. The significant inefficiency in reacting to the unfavorable news was found for the Latvian Stock Exchange thus for this market the semi-strong form of market efficiency was rejected. The significant abnormal returns on the day of the quarterly financial announcements close to 3% were identified for both categories of news (good and bad) indicting that the Stock market participants are not able to valuate the performance of the stock prices correctly. The identified empirical research results enrich the EMH theory in the small and developing markets. Indicated quarterly financial reports value-relevance for investors supports the theory that it one of the major sauces of information to the market. Indicated inefficiencies in the Latvian SE could be analyzed by regulators. This Master‘s thesis limitations are based on the single research object – only quarterly financial reports announcements were analyzed. Also the results are based on EMH rationality assumption. And the analysis is provided for the good and bad news separately. Evaluation of Baltic Stock Exchanges’ Efficiency 3 SANTRAUKA Repe čkait ė, G. Baltijos šali ų akicij ų rink ų efektyvumo vertinimas [Rankraštis]: magistro baigiamasis darbas: ekonomika. Vilnius, ISM Vadybos ir ekonomikos universitetas, 2010. Šiame magistro baigiamajame darbe tiriamas Baltijos akcij ų rink ų (Lietuvos, Latvijos ir Estijos) efektyvumas 2004 – 2009 met ų laikotarpiu. Šio magistro darbo tikslas įvertinti Baltijos šali ų akcij ų rinkos reakcij ą į ketvirtini ų finansini ų ataskait ų paskelbim ą. Siekiat šio tikslo darbe pateikiama rinkos efektyvumo samprata, pateikiama susijusios literat ūros analiz ė. Tiriama ketvirtini ų ataskait ų teikiamos informacijos netik ėtumo, naujumo aspektas, taip pat analizuojama kaip greitai rinka prisitaiko prie naujos informacijos. Taip pat atsižvelgiama į Baltijos šali ų akcij ų rink ų dalyvi ų sugeb ėjim ą teisingai bei realistiškai vertinti akcij ų vert ę. Šiems tikslams pasiekti naudojama tradicin ė trumpalaikių įvyki ų analiz ė (ang. event study). Palanki ų bei nepalanki ų ketvirtini ų finansini ų ataskait ų paskelbimo sukeltos reakcijos analizuojamos naudojant neparametrinius “Wilcoxon Signed Ranks” ir “Sign” testus. Pagrindiniai empirinio tyrimo rezultatai: pirma, buvo nustatyta, jog ketvirtin ės finansini ų rezultat ų ataskaitos turi nenumatytos informacijos, naudingos Baltis šali ų akcij ų rinkos dalyviams. Antra, buvo nustatyta jog Baltijos šali ų akcij ų rinka reaguoja bei prisitaiko prie ketvirtini ų finansini ų ataskait ų suteiktos informacijos per vien ą dien ą. Dėl šios priežasties Estijos bei Lietuvos akcij ų rinkoms vidutinio stiprumo efektyvumo lygio hipotez ė negali b ūti atmesta. Ženklus neefektyvumas buvo nustatytas Latvijos akcijos rinkos dalyviams reaguojant į nepalankias naujienas ketvirtin ėje finansin ėje ataskaitoje, d ėl šios priežasties vidutinio stiprumo rinkos efektyvumo hipotez ė yra atmetama. Nustatytas reikšmingas (~3%) viršpelnis (angl. abnormal returns) finansini ų ataskait ų paskelbimo dien ą tiek palanki ų tiek nepalanki ų naujien ų grupi ų atveju leidžia teigti, jog rinkos dalyviai nesugeba teisingai vertinti įmon ės veiklos bei akcij ų kain ų teisingai. Tyrimo metu gauti rezultatai papildo Efektyvios rinkos hipotez ės teorij ą smulki ų ir besivystan čių akcij ų rink ų atžvilgiu. Identifikuota ketvirtini ų ataskait ų nauda rink ų dalyviams paremia teorij ą kad jos yra vienos iš pagrindini ų informacijos šaltini ų rinkai. Latvijos rinkoje nustatyti efektyvumo nukrupimai gal ėtų b ūti analizuojami priži ūrin čių institucij ų. Pagrindinis šio magistro baigiamojo darbo apribojimas – tiriamas vienintelis tyrimo objektas (ketvirtini ų finansini ų ataskait ų paskelbimas). Taip pat išvados daromos remiantis ERH (efektyvios rinkos hipoteze). Taip pat palanki ų bei nepalanki ų ataskait ų analiz ė atliekama atskiroms naujien ų grup ėms.

  • Baltic Folk Tour 2017
    Baltic Folk Tour 2017 Baltic Sea Philharmonic Welcome We are delighted to welcome you to ‘Baltic Folk’, our second tour of 2017. On this tour of Sweden, Germany and Italy, we bring you music from Russia and Estonia. The beauty of great music, like the greatest legends, stories and folktales, lies in its universality. It speaks from the heart to all of us, no matter which country we are from. The masterpieces by Stravinsky and Rachmaninoff that you will hear tonight are Russian to the core, but everyone can relate to their themes and emotions – from the tale of love, magic and transformation that inspired Stravinsky’s The Firebird, to the melancholy and passionate drama of Rachmaninoff’s Second Piano Concerto. Similarly, you do not have to share the religious convictions of Arvo Pärt, the third composer in our ‘Baltic Folk’ programme, to be deeply affected by his emotionally profound music. As an orchestra of musicians from the ten nations of the Baltic Sea region, bringing people together is in our nature. And the universal music we play means we can connect more strongly with each other, and with you, our audience. The folk-influenced music in our concerts certainly speaks to us from the heart, and we hope our performance will touch you just as deeply. Our spark We fire up imaginations through inspirational performances Come with us on a musical adventure through a world of magic, passion and spirituality Our flow 06 We connect people to the environment, and to each other Explore our 2017 ‘Waterworks’ tour, which is inspired by water‘s
