headline risk

    0.06 sec.
headline risk
The possibility a negative news story will spread to other media outlets and cause a significant change in the value of an investment. For example, an unconfirmed report of a corporate management shakeup might be picked up by competing newspapers and television networks, thus causing a sharp decline in the company's stock price. The firm's stock price is likely to be subject to substantial volatility even though the story eventually proves false.
