Nguyen, Xuan Truong While numerous studies on spin-off have been done in the US and Europe, little efforts have been directed to research this area of cor-porate finance in Australia. This study investigates how market re-acts to corporate spin-offs in this country. We employ traditional event study methodology and find that market reacts strongly and positively to the announcements of spin-offs. Specifically, the cu-mulative average abnormal return over the 3-day event window is 3.58%. The cumulative average abnormal return for spin-offs by companies that increase their industrial focus is 4.12% and 3.33% for non-focused increasing spin-offs. Nevertheless, the difference between these two subgroups is statistically insignificant. Multivari-ate regressions provide evidence that high pre-leverage firms benefit more from spin-offs. 2023-03-08T03:56:56Z 2023-03-08T03:56:56Z 2017 Article 2615-9112 http://jabes.ueh.edu.vn/Home/SearchArticle?article_Id=b293a630-7d92-469a-afbc-ff8cee2c7f1c https://scholar.dlu.edu.vn/thuvienso/handle/DLU123456789/115540 10.24311/jabes/2017.24.1.07 en Journal of Asian Business and Economic Studies, Volume 24, Issue 01; p. 54-74 application/pdf University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City
