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.
Resolute Management's stock fell dramatically the day the move was announced
Resolute Management's stock fell dramatically the day the move was announced
Bottom line. Resolute Management fell dramatically by nan% 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 = 1.00).
This chart shows four different statistical lenses on what Resolute Management'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).
Resolute Management sits within the typical cohort spread
Resolute Management sits within the typical cohort spread
Bottom line. Resolute Management's announcement-day reading is within the inter-quartile range of the 36-firm cohort. Cohort-wide mean is +0.69%; the dispersion is wide and firm-specific.
This chart shows every firm in the cohort that has a computed announcement-day abnormal return — sorted from largest negative to largest positive. Resolute Management 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 →.

Robustness checks — does the headline result hold up?

Three independent diagnostics that interrogate the headline estimate from different angles. All three pointing the same way = high confidence in the result.

  • Pre-event drift check: the firm's daily abnormal return drifted by +nan% per day in the pre-event window (p = 1.000). no detectable pre-event drift ✓. — A near-zero slope means the pre-event period was stable, so the day-0 reaction is not contamination from a pre-existing trend.
  • Donor co-movement check: 9 of 18 peer firms moved in the same direction as the treated firm on the event day (binomial p = 1.1855). — A high concordance means the day was driven by industry-wide news rather than something firm-specific. A low concordance means the firm moved differently from peers (potential firm-specific signal).
  • Synthetic-control fit quality: pre-event correlation between the firm and its synthetic twin = nan (weak tracking — interpret with caution); R² = (fraction of pre-event variance explained); Durbin-Watson = nan (some autocorrelation in residuals). — Higher correlation + higher R² + Durbin-Watson near 2 means the synthetic peer was a good match before the event, so the post-event gap is interpretable.

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 = 1.000, Romano-Wolf adjusted p = 1.000, BH-FDR adjusted p = 1.000. 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)
