Abstract:

This study analyzes the wealth effects of SEO announcements in the US during the COVID-19 pandemic and its main determinants. We find significantly negative abnormal returns of − 8.6%. This provides persuasive evidence that capital markets reacted particularly negative during this period, reflecting higher degrees of uncertainty. We furthermore find that larger firms experience a better SEO performance and that COVID-19 related biotech & healthcare firms react particularly negative. This effect is more negative the lower the company valuation beforehand.
