Study participantsappreciated the attractiveness and competence of the heads of companies and the extent to which the CEOs trust them. Presentations were silent, so that respondents could not evaluate the information from the presentation.
Directors of companies whose stock price at initial offering was 11% higher than expected on the basis of a fundamental forecast, received an assessment according to the three indicated criteria above the average by 5%. A year after the IPO, these companies continue to show good results. The main role was played by competence, in second place - the attractiveness of the director, in third - the ability to inspire confidence.
In addition to forecasts of profitability, management quality and market share data, the appearance of the company's top managers is also important for investors.

So why are you meeting him? ”
