The purpose of this study is to examine the market reaction of overseas investors to Chinese companies' earnings announcement. Using a sample of firms issuing both A shares and B shares in the time period from 2007 to 2008, we find that earnings response coefficients in the B-share market, provided for overseas investors to trade in China's stock markets, are significantly lower than those in the A-share market for domestic Chinese investors. Such findings indicate that overseas investors underprice Chinese companies' accounting earnings. |
