The calculated results reveal insignificant decrease in the operating performance of merged firms during the post-merger three years period. Moreover, the projected performance is calculated through ordinary least square method. The results show insignificant increase during the post-merger three years period with respect to pre-merger three years performance. The findings of projected scenario demonstrate that these companies could have performed insignificantly well in comparison to their actual performance after mergers. Full Text
