BIS - Corporate Zombies: Anatomy And Life Cycle

Date 02/09/2020

Focus

We analyse zombie firms, defined as unprofitable firms with low stock market valuation. Our analysis takes a longer-run international perspective using firm-level data on listed non-financial companies covering 14 advanced economies and spanning three decades.

Contribution

Documenting the rise of zombie companies over the past three decades, we explore their anatomy and life cycle. Their anatomy is analysed in terms of their economic and financial characteristics and performance, as compared with those of non-zombie firms. To flesh out a zombie firm's life cycle, we study how key balance sheet and profit account items move in the years before and after the firm first becomes a zombie. We further document what happened to zombie firms over time, zooming in on those firms that have managed to recover from zombie state.
