Abstract

Based on the data of all the announcements released in the A-share market from 2012 to 2016, this paper empirically studies the relationship between the reduction of major shareholders and the valuation of the stock of the enterprise. Through regression analysis, we find that there is a positive correlation between the reduction of major shareholders and the value of Tobin Q. Through further classification tests, this paper finds that the reduction of non-state-owned major shareholders can better convey the overestimation of enterprise value Similarly, compared with a natural person shareholder, the reduction of non-natural person major shareholders is also more able to convey the information that the enterprise value is overvalued. This paper suggests that investors can refer to the reduction of non-state-owned nature of large shareholders and large shareholders of non-natural person nature to assess the value of the enterprise and support investment decisions.
