Corporate brand value and cash holdings

Abstract: This research devotes theoretical and empirical attention to the understudied relationship between corporate brand value and cash holdings. We draw on existing firm valuation theorizing at the marketing-finance interface to propose that branding can alter the probability distribution of the firm's revenues, lower potential operating shortfalls (negative operating earnings), and thereby reduce the firm's cash holdings. The negative corporate brand value-cash holdings relationship is empirically tested using Bra… Show more

“…Our suggestion to researchers who want to conduct marketing event studies resembles Skiera et al's call to elaborate more on which parts of SHV are influenced by marketing events. First evidence (albeit not in an event-study setting) shows that marketing assets such as customer satisfaction and brand equity can have a significant effect on debt-related metrics such as credit ratings (Anderson & Mansi, 2009;Himme & Fischer, 2014) and cash holdings (Bharadwaj et al, 2020;Larkin, 2013), so a general statement is not possible. Given that the components of the leverage effect are publicly available, calculating CAR OB , comparing it with CAR SHV , and interpreting potential differences should be standard practice in marketing-finance research (for a recent application, see Lim et al, 2018).…”
