The abnormal return is the stock's return beyond what its usual relationship with the market (beta -0.06) predicts. A single stock's move can reflect other news on the same days, so it describes what happened rather than measuring the effect of the CEO change; averages across many events are on the Research design page as they are completed.

News coverage

Headlines from the day before the filing to three days after, found in the GDELT news index by company name, so an occasional match may be about something else. Tone is FinBERT's reading of the headline alone, a language model trained on financial news; it is not our view of the change.
