【内容摘要】

Corporate executives are prohibited from trading on material nonpublic information. In 2000, the SEC enacted Rule 10b5-1 that allows insiders to preplan their transactions before aware of material nonpublic information. However, do corporate executives influence the timing and content of information disclosure to benefit their preplanned trades? We examine cumulative abnormal returns (CARs) around insider transactions and document patterns suggesting that insiders are “perfect” timers. That is, stock prices go up (go down) prior to but drop (back up) after insider sells (buys). Further classifying insider trades into preplanned or non-preplanned  based on 10b5-1 plan and routine or opportunistic based on insider trading patterns, we show that the stock return patterns hold for all subsamples of insider trades. Using 8-K filings as a proxy of discretionary disclosure, we find that there are significantly more 8-K filings prior to insider trades than during normal time. Moreover, based on sentiment score from RavenPack News Analytics, we find that analyst reports and corporate news release both have significant explanatory power of stock return patterns around insider transactions. The evidence documented in our study cannot rule out the hypothesis that corporate executives influence the timing and content of information disclosure to benefit their preplanned trades.
