Abstract: | We test whether the impact of financial constraints on firmvalue is observable in stock returns. We form portfolios offirms based on observable characteristics related to financialconstraints and test for common variation in stock returns.Financially constrained firms' stock returns move together overtime, suggesting that constrained firms are subject to commonshocks. Constrained firms have low average stock returns inour 1968-1997 sample of growing manufacturing firms. We findno evidence that the relative performance of constrained firmsreflects monetary policy, credit conditions, or business cycles. |
