With a comprehensive U.S. domestic sample, we study shareholder announcement returns for firms that acquired 5 or more public, private, and/or subsidiary targets, and switched or shifted from in-state to out-of-state acquisition, and vice versa, from a deal conducted in different state to one completed in their own state. Generally, switching has a negative effect on bidder announcement returns (-3.424): switch-deals have significantly lower CARs than non-switch deals: 1.251% against 2.876. Shifting states has a more pronounced negative impact in later deals, and when the switch is from same to different state.
