Abstract

This paper aims to examine the impact of the oil market crises of 2008 and 2015 in the value of oil companies, analyzing the relevance of the accounting information summarized on book value and earnings regarding the price of the shares of these companies in the periods in which large fluctuations occurred in the price of the barrel of oil. We used regressions with panel data in a sample of 51 oil companies listed at the New York Stock Exchange in the period 2001 to 2015. The results showed that periods of crisis affect the market value of companies in the oil segment. It was also noted that book value was adversely affected, while earnings suffered no statistically significant influence. The results are partially consistent with studies like those of Graham, Bailes e King (2000), Davis-Friday e Gordon (2005) e Davis-Friday, Eng e Liu (2006), but divergent with Alte (2014), which pointed out the earnings as most relevant in the crisis. This study gains relevance in analyzing the quality of accounting information in the context of crisis in the oil and gas market, enabling a breakthrough in the knowledge of the area on the subject.
