Key research themes

1. How do accounting principles and quality of earnings influence the interpretation of financial results and firm valuation?

This research theme explores the concept of earnings quality, its measurement, and how accounting standards and principles influence the accuracy and interpretability of financial results.

3. How do market conditions and firm-specific factors affect the interpretation of profitability metrics in relation to stock returns?

Research under this theme investigates the complex relationship between accounting profitability indicators (such as net income, Earnings Per Share (EPS), and return on equity) and stock market returns. It challenges the assumption that profitability always positively influences stock prices, considering market-specific events, investor sentiment, and differential interpretation of earnings announcements by analysts.
