摘要：
Among U.S. firms, operating losses have become substantially more prevalent, persistent, and greater in magnitude since 1970. Loss firms now comprise over 30% of the Compustat universe and such losses continue for a median of four years. We find that firms with negative operating cash flows account for more than half of the rise in average cash balances over the sample period, with average cash holdings increasing by 615% for negative cash flow firms vs. 95% for positive cash flow firms. Further, firms exhibiting operating losses now comprise the majority of equity issuers. These issuers stockpile most of the funds raised in the issue and use these funds to cover subsequent operating losses. We conclude that the immediate and expected ongoing liquidity needs of firms with persistent operating losses have substantially altered corporate financial policies.
