The empirical results show that institutional ownership stability is significantly and positively related to merger completion, operating performance and buy-and -hold return, but, makes no impact on the method of payment for merger, cross-border merger, diversification merger, merger premium and announcement returns. The evidence reveals that the more stable institutional investors will not refer to short-term information to trade but supervise, manage and take action to help the company, and moreover, get a long-term reward from them. We also find that no matter the amount of institutional ownership, institutional ownership stability is still significantly and positively related to operational performance and buy-and-hold return. Finally, we find that public pension funds are more active in monitor post-merger performance than other types of institutions.
