报告简介:

Conventional wisdom suggests that a company’s negative news is likely to benefit its competitors. In contrast, this research reveals significant heterogeneity in spillover effects across rival firms. By analyzing a large-scale dataset compiled from various sources, the authors (a) document the heterogenous spillover effects on abnormal stock returns across rival firms upon negative news in the industry; (2) examine the three fundamental corporate pillars, namely, R&D capability, marketing capability, and operations capability as antecedents to such heterogeneity, and (c) investigate rival firms’ strategic reactions in response to the negative news. Results indicate that upon the release of negative news about a firm’s product, an industry rival is less likely to suffer from negative spillover effect on its abnormal stock return if it has strong marketing capability. However, R&D capability and operations capability only help alleviate negative spillover effect under certain industry- or firm-specific conditions. Furthermore, the spillover effects in stock returns can in turn motivate rival firms to make changes in their future strategic emphases. The findings provide novel implications for firms, investors, and policy makers.
