The paper uses standard event study to examine the market reaction of the whole process of credit rating change which includes credit watch placement, transitional period, and actual rating change. The authors find that the act of a company's bond being put on both positive and negative credit watch placements are associated with significant abnormal returns in the company's stock while negative credit watch placement helps reduce the negative market reaction on the actual rating downgrade.

The authors conclude that low analyst coverage firms which contain low information in the market consistently have larger market impacts than high analyst coverage firms. © Ronan Coy, Kathryn Cormican, 2014. 2018-11-09T02:02:33Z 2018-11-09T02:02:33Z 2014-01-01 Article Investment Management and Financial Innovations.
