Abstract: Abstract: Once announcement about centralized bidding acquisition is disclosed, involved stocks often abnormally rise, which provide a chance for arbitragers to arbitrage with suitable investment strategies. This paper explores market reaction to bided listed companies for the period between 1993 and 2008. Our result reveals that bidding announcement contributes to significant positive market reaction; further initial bidding announcement has better profit than non-initial announcement. But profit of strategic investment style has no difference from financial investment style. Our finding implies an arbitrage strategy with average period abnormal return of 5.2%, which is buying on the day of bidding announcement and holding 23 deal days.
