Overinvestment of Free Cash Flow and Manager’s Overconfidence

Abstract: The problem of over-investment of free cash flows has been heavily debated in the financial literature of companies. However, only a handful of studies have examined this problem in the context of behavioral finance. The objective of this article is to study the effect of the manager's overconfidence on the over-investment of the free cash flows. We construct a proxy measure of overconfidence and we use Richardson's model to measure over-investment expenditure. Our empirical study was conducted on a sample of … Show more

“…Sedangkan perusahaan dengan ukuran dewan direksi yang besar jarang mengalami kondisi over-investment namun lebih cenderung under-investment. Moez & Amina (2018) mengatakan bahwa terdapat hubungan yang positif secara signifikan antara free cash flow dengan over-investment dan hubungan keduanya semakin kuat apabila direksi perusahaan bersikap over-confidence. Berdasarkan deskripsi tersebut maka dapat dinyatakan bahwa level free cash flow memperkuat pengaruh dewan direksi terhadap keputusan investasi.…”

“…Menurut Cherkasova & Rasadi (2017) kondisi inefisiensi investasi perusahaan dapat dipengaruhi oleh earning management. Sedangkan menurut Moez & Amina (2018) penentuan nilai investasi perusahaan berhubungan erat dengan dinamika dari faktor-faktor yang sifatnya berubah-ubah yaitu seperti peluang pertumbuhan (growth opportunities) dan nilai investasi periode sebelumnya (previous investment). Pernyataan Moez & Amina (2018) tersebut memperkuat hasil penelitian Botoc & Enache (2013); Suartawan & Yasa (2017) yang menemukan bahwa potensi inefisiensi investasi dapat terjadi pada saat perusahaan memiliki nilai pertumbuhan pendapatan (sales growth) dan peluang investasi (investment opportunities) yang tinggi.…”

This is related to over-and under-investment problems (Moez & Amina, 2018;Zhang, Cao, Dickinson, & Kutan, 2016). Overinvestment occurs when firms have an excess of internal funds, such as free cash flow, in which case, a positive relationship is formed between free cash flow and investment level.…”

“…The future positive cash flows can contribute to mitigate external financing problems and increase the dividend payments. Sloan (1998) said that earning management can be used as a tool to mystify investors and to attract them to invest in overvalued stocks that can assist to augment share price (Moez & Amina, 2018). Nofsinger (2002) put forward the findings that OVERCB causes managers to underestimate the risk factor attached with cash, inventory, and account receivable.…”
