- W1780372933 abstract "Credit rating announcements can be for either initial ratings or rating changes, but past research has focused mainly on the market reaction to the latter. This study examines the information content of initial rating announcements and thus fills the void in the literature and broadens our understanding about the informational role played by credit ratings in the market. Using data from Taiwan, a financial market with newly established credit rating system, this study examines the rating announcement effect on firms that receive their first-time ratings from a private rating agency. Contrary to the common belief that investors respond more favorably the higher the rating a firm receives, we show that significant and positive equity price responses occur only for less credit-worthy firms in the market. Counterintuitive as it may seem, our finding is consistent with the prediction of signaling theory. More specifically, our evidence suggests that initial firm ratings do carry information value, but only for lower-quality or smaller-size firms that have been penalized by information asymmetry until credit rating becomes available as a cost-effective signaling alternative. This finding has important implications for many smaller or lower quality firms that traditionally are more reluctant to seek ratings, because signaling through ratings indeed helps reduce information asymmetry and can actually enhance value for these firms." @default.
