How Valuable Is Financial Flexibility when Revenue Stops? Evidence from the COVID-19 Crisis

Rudiger Fahlenbrach et al.

Summary: Companies with greater financial flexibility are more resilient to revenue shortfalls caused by the COVID-19 shock, experiencing lower stock price drops compared to less flexible firms within the same industry. Companies more exposed to the shock benefit more from cash holdings, and recent payouts do not worsen average stock price drops. These results cannot be attributed to a leverage effect.
