Changes in corporate performance associated with bank acquisitions

Article Abstract:

Thirty large bank mergers in the US between 1982 and 1987 improved their loan-deposit rates, employee productivity levels and asset growth. A comparison of pre- and post-unification accounting data of these banks indicate superior cash flow returns after their merger, even surpassing industry standards. The study founda positive correlation between the 'abnormal' stock returns during the merger- announcement period and the post-unification cash flow and accounting performance results. Expectations of better performance seem to underlie the stock/price revaluations of the merged banks.
