%X We examine differential volume¨Cprice reactions to loss announcements and their association with loss reversals. Our findings show that differential volume¨Cprice reactions are dissimilar between firms reporting profits and losses. In addition, the differential volume¨Cprice reactions surrounding loss announcements are useful in predicting loss reversals. When jointly considered, volume and price reactions provide unique information about future profitability for firms currently reporting losses. Overall, our results are consistent with losses generating more investor disagreements and more trading volume and show that a measure based on differential volume¨Cprice reactions to loss announcements is informative with regard to predicting subsequent loss reversals
