Abstract: This study examines whether: 1) the frequency of CEO turnover announced on social media; and 2) reposts of CEO turnover news on social media impacted investors' investment decisions. We provide two results. First, the frequency of CEO turnover negatively impacts the investor's willingness to invest. Second, the reposts of CEO termination news do not significantly impact investors' investment decisions. Our study fills the gap between CEO turnover and social media disclosures by investigating the impact of reposts and posts of CEO turnover news on social media instead of traditional media on investors' perceptions of firm performance and their investment decisions. Our study also complements and extends the CEO turnover literature by looking at a new angle of CEO turnover.
