Looting is good for shareholders

Looting is good for shareholders 08/31/2004 05:25 PM

According to this NYT story, the management of Hollinger International took home 95 percent of the company's profits for themselves over the last 6 years.  I.e., these guys were looters par excellance.  Yet graphing the price of HLR versus the S&P 500 shows that the company's stock has outperformed the market as a whole.  How to explain this phenomenon?  Could it be that HLR has extraordinarily high profits and therefore 5 percent for the shareholders is still pretty good?  Or that the rest of the S&P 500 has managements that are looting more than 95 percent?

Let's hear from some MBAs who can explain this to us.  You'd think this would make a great B-school case study.
