headline risk Headline RiskThe risk that a company may decline in share price because of negative news coverage. For example, rumors that a company's earnings are declining may cause shareholders to sell their stock. Even if the news itself is not true, headline risk can cause significant volatility for the stock in the short-term. For this reason, companies often price out the news by slowly leaking information before it is announced to minimize surprises and reduce the power of false rumors.

For example, an unconfirmed report of a corporate management shakeup might be picked up by competing newspapers and television networks, thus causing a sharp decline in the company's stock price. The firm's stock price is likely to be subject to substantial volatility even though the story eventually proves false. |
