Abstract

Using 25 M&A transactions in banking and finance industry during the period 2005-2013, we examine the impact of partial M&A deals on performance of target firms in banking and finance industry in Vietnam. We find that most of M&A transactions in banking and finance industry in Vietnam are partial transactions. Moreover, in term of performance, the partial M&A transactions have a significant negative impact on ROE, ROA, and EPS of the target firms.
