2019 (Swedish)Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesisAlternative title
A study of the interest of short positions in companies regarding to their earnings quality (English)
Abstract [sv]

Syfte: Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka om blankade bolag har lägre grad av earnings quality än icke-blankade bolag.

Metod: Kvantitativ metod, t-test för två populationer som antar olika varianser.

Resultat och slutsats: Resultatet i den här studien visar att blankade bolag inte har lägre grad av earnings quality än icke-blankade bolag. Resultatet visar även att icke-blankade bolag har lägre grad av earnings quality än blankade bolag. Därför kan jag inte uttala mig om huruvida blankare använder earnings quality vid tagandet av blankningspositioner

Abstract [en]

Purpose: The purpose of this essay is to examine if shorted companies have poorer earnings quality than non-shorted companies

Method: Quantitative analysis, t-test for two-sample assuming unequal variances

Result and conclusion: The results of this study show that shorted companies do not have poorer earnings quality than non-shorted companies. The results also indicate that non-shorted companies have poorer earnings quality than shorted companies. Thus, I cannot comment on whether short sellers are using information about earnings quality when taking short positions
