Open market repurchase, Announcement effect, Enterprise life cycle theoryAbstract
This article explores the influencing factors of announcement effects of open market repurchases in China from the perspective of the enterprise life cycle. The findings reveal that the announcement effect of share repurchase is much lower for companies in growth stage than for companies in the maturity and decline stages, confirming the validity of the "free cash flow hypothesis" in the Chinese stock market. Furthermore, the motives of the repurchase and the proportion of shares to be repurchased are crucial elements influencing the announcement effect, which varies depending on the stage of the company's life cycle.
