Readability: An Evaluative Criterion of Stockholder Reaction to Annual Reports

Louisiana Tech University

Past research indicates that readability levels of annual reports are "restric tive. " But are they "restrictive" to their most important audience-the stockholder? This article reports an attempt to determine if stockholder reactions to corporate annual reports are related to the readability levels of those reports.

Reasons for this lack of correlation and implications of the findings and conclusions are then discussed.
