1. Introduction
Organizations need financial resources to expand their operations or growth.1 Growth can be achieved through launching new products and services or expanding operations beyond the existing resources. There are two resources used for achieving growth, i.e. internal resources and external resources.2 The business organizations mostly rely on internal sources (retained earnings) for expansion of the business. However, any significant growth opportunity will motivate organizations to rely on external resources, if there are limited internal resources.
The external sources may include loans from banks, partnerships, merger with another company or acquiring other organization. The Mergers and Acquisition (M&As) are the emerging strategies adopted for expansion of the business in the corporate world. Due to its rapid growth, many organizations adopted these strategies for expanding their business and approximately four thousand transactions are recorded each year in the business world.1
5. Conclusion and implications
This study analyzed the effect Merges and Acquisitions on shareholder wealth (stock returns) in the banking sector of Pakistan over the period 2002 to 2012. The study objective of the study is to conduct analysis of the banking sector in terms of abnormal and cumulative abnormal returns of stock price. The empirical findings suggest mixed results of ARs and CARs of sample events of the study. Few of the events show positive returns while most of the events show negative returns following the announcement of Merges and Acquisitions. The ARs in post event show negative results in seven events, whereas the CARs in post event were found negative in eight events. The results of the few remaining events have reported positive ARs and CARs for the merged banks. On the event day, the ARs were found negative in six events while in seven events, the CARs were negative. However, the overall results show a negative effect on ARs and CARs after merger transactions. The results of the study corroborates with Franks, et al.,38 while inconsistent with most of the studies (Hagendorff et al.,39 Soongswang13; Goddard et al.10; Doukas & Lang40; Cummins & Weiss, (2004).
