Common Equity Investors’ Assessments of the Dilution and Solvency Effects of Preferred Stock Instruments

open access: yesJournal of Business Finance &Accounting, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires dichotomous classification of financial claims as liabilities or equity. Classifying claims is challenging when instruments have attributes of both liabilities and equity (i.e., hybrid instruments).
