The findings show a significantly lower average abnormal return on the announcement day (1.937\%) and a lower cumulative average abnormal return around the announcement day (1.943\%) than previous studies reported. Moreover, the medium-term cumulative abnormal returns are found to be significant and positive (2.70\%). This study finds evidence for the signaling hypothesis, which states the intention behind the repurchase of a company being a perceived undervaluation.}, language = {en} }
