Explaining variance in the performance of long-term corporate blockholders
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to examine the performance of long-term corporate blockholders. The investigation involved an ordinary least-squares regression analysis for testing the impact of different independent variables on performance measures of corporate blockholders. The sample consisted of corporations that acquired and held from 5% to 50% of the common stock of a domestic target firm for a minimum of three years. Results demonstrate that blockholder performance improved on average for 15 months after the purchase of 5% to 50% of a target corporation's common stock. At three-month, seven-month, eleven-month and fifteen-month intervals, performance is found to be positively related to investments in targets that are either suppliers or customers, targets cross-investing into the equity stocks of the blockholder, and a blockholding value ratio contrasting the value of the blockholding with the value of the blockholder.
