  • Does the Stock Market Penalise Fast-Growing Firms? Chris Brooks
    Does the Stock Market Penalise Fast-Growing Firms? Chris Brooks November 2012 Executive Summary This study examines in detail the link between accounting measures of a firm’s success and its share price performance, employing data on all currently listed French companies. A key finding is the negative relationship between the growth rates of earnings, sales, and assets, and the following year’s stock returns. In particular, firms whose total assets grow substantially can experience relative share price falls for up to five years. However, we show that the eventual rewards for investors who fund acquisitions and development can be substantial when share undervaluations are reversed. Eurofins Scientific, a company which experienced phenomenal asset growth over the past 15 years, is used as an exemplar. When financial and real estate holding companies are excluded from the analysis, Eurofins ranks highest in terms of both its total returns to shareholders (of over 5,000% compounded) and its risk-adjusted returns among all companies that listed on the Paris Bourse for the whole period. Chris Brooks ICMA Centre, Henley Business School University of Reading Whiteknights Reading RG6 6BA UK E-mail: [email protected] Acknowledgement: I am grateful to Eurofins Scientific for funding this research. © Chris Brooks. All rights reserved. 1 1. Introduction The price of a stock should be the present value of all of its future cashflows, and when a business creates a surplus over the cost of its debt and equity financing, it creates value for shareholders. According to the efficient markets hypothesis (EMH), current stock prices should reflect all relevant information available at that time and changes in stock prices (or returns) should be unforecastable.
