Department of Business Administration
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to identify if a relationship exists between excess cash and stock returns analysed across periods of boom and bust. Our findings document an overall positive relationship between excess cash holdings and stock returns. In regards to the specific period this paper documents a negative relationship in boom times and a positive relationship in times of downturn. From the shareholder perspective, over the long term, more value is obtained from investing in high cash firms.
