Abstract: Variables explaining the market response to a profit warning are of interest to both market participants and the managers of the firm. Several variables have been used in previous research to explain the market response to profit warnings with varying outcomes. This study uses a framework of surprise and risk to explain the market response and tests it on a sample of 474 profit warnings collected from Nasdaq OMX Nordic. The findings show that surprise and risk variables can be used to estimate the size of the market response to a profit warning.
