  • Are Retail Investors Less Aggressive on Small Price Stocks?
    Are retail investors less aggressive on small price stocks? Carole M´etais∗ Tristan Rogery January 13, 2021 Abstract In this paper, we investigate whether number processing impacts the limit orders of retail investors. Building on existing literature in neuropsychology that shows that individuals do not process small numbers and large numbers in the same way, we study the influence of nominal stock price level on order aggressiveness. Using a unique database that allows us to identify order and trade records issued by retail investors on Euronext Paris, we show that retail investors, when posting non-marketable orders, are less aggressive on small price stocks than on large price stocks. This difference in order aggressiveness is not explained by differences in liquidity and other usual drivers of order aggressiveness. We provide additional evidence by showing that no such difference exists for limit orders of high frequency traders (HFTs) over the same period and the same sample of stocks. This finding confirms that our results are driven by a behavioral bias and not by differential market dynamics between small price stocks and large price stocks. ∗LaRGE Research Center, University of Strasbourg { Mailing address: 61 Avenue de la For^etNoire, 67000 Strasbourg FRANCE { Email: [email protected].

  • Neoen Joins the SBF 120Index
    Paris, June 11, 2020 Neoen joins the SBF 120 index Neoen (ISIN: FR0011675362, Ticker: NEOEN), one of the world’s leading and fastest-growing independent producers of exclusively renewable energy, is announcing it is joining the SBF 120 index consisting of the top 120 stocks listed on the Euronext Paris market in term of both liquidity and market capitalization. As part of its quarterly review of the Euronext Paris indices, the Index Committee decided to include Neoen in both the SBF 120 and the CAC Mid 60 indices. This decision will take effect from June 22, 2020. Neoen’s inclusion in these indices is a testament to its good share price performance since its October 2018 IPO. Over the past 20 months, the Company’s market capitalization has more than doubled to almost €3 billion. This strong rise was accompanied by a steady increase in trading volumes. Since its IPO, Neoen has consistently delivered strong earnings growth and expansion in its project portfolio. Assets in operation or under construction have increased from 1.8 GW at June 30, 2018 to 3.1 GW at March 31, 2020, and the target is to have more than 5 GW by year-end 2021. This rapid and profitable growth has been founded on geographical and technological diversification of its asset base. Neoen is present in 14 countries on 4 continents and it develops and operates solar and wind energy generation and storage capacity. Xavier Barbaro, Neoen’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “We are very pleased to be joining this benchmark index, which marks a new important step for Neoen.
