Visual evidence — event study around the announcement

Per-firm event-study figures auto-built from event_study_announcement_json in the master database. Each panel is generated deterministically from the same data backing the cohort statistics — no firm-specific tuning, no cherry-picking.
TTEC's stock fell sharply the day the move was announced
TTEC's stock fell sharply the day the move was announced
Bottom line. TTEC fell sharply by 3.7% on announcement day. Across four different benchmarks for what "normal" should have looked like, the move was statistically indistinguishable from a normal trading day (p = 0.50).
This chart shows four different statistical lenses on what TTEC's stock did on the day the reincorporation was announced. Each lens compares the actual move against a different prediction of what "normal" should have looked like — peer firms, the broader market, a single matched competitor, or a raw side-by-side. The gold-edged bar marks the lens used in the cohort summary.
Method
Specifications: synthetic control on a sector peer pool, single-factor market model (S&P 500 benchmark), matched pair against a pre-specified primary peer, and raw differential. Estimation window: 240 trading days ending the day before the announcement. Standard errors via Patell-z (1976).
TTEC is one of the cohort's larger negative reactions
TTEC is one of the cohort's larger negative reactions
Bottom line. TTEC's reading sits in the negative tail of the cohort distribution. Worth pairing with the firm-specific story before drawing inferences about Texas/Nevada destination per se.
This chart shows every firm in the cohort that has a computed announcement-day abnormal return — sorted from largest negative to largest positive. TTEC is highlighted in gold. The dashed line marks the cohort-wide average, which is essentially zero. Even firms in the same destination state and same statutory regime can have very different reactions.
Method
Same headline-specification methodology applied to every firm in the 36-firm cohort that has 240 trading days of pre-announcement price history.
Data integrity. All figures generated by the same script (perfirm_gallery.py) on every release; SHA-256 verified at deploy time. See also: Cohort-wide event study →.

Cohort-level robustness battery

Heckman selection-corrected ATE · Romano-Wolf step-down + BH FDR · pooled BHAR. This firm's reading is shown in context of the full cohort.

Heckman two-step selection correction (controlled-vs-widely-held)

Cohort ATE = +0.94% (SE = 7.06%, n = 2395) after correcting for controller-status selection (inverse Mills ratio = -0.062).

Romano-Wolf step-down + Benjamini-Hochberg FDR (n = 47)

This firm: raw p = 0.498, Romano-Wolf adjusted p = 1.000, BH-FDR adjusted p = 0.966. Multiple-hypothesis correction is computed across the full cohort to control family-wise error rate at alpha = 0.05.

Pooled cohort BHAR (mover firms only)

BHAR_63d: mean = -5.60% (SE = 22.11%, n = 3, p = 0.499) · BHAR_126d: mean = +17.33% (SE = 41.17%, n = 3, p = 0.774)
