Low Price, Price‐earnings Ratio, Market Value, and Abnormal Stock Returns

Abstract: In this research, the individual and net effects of low price, low price/earnings (P/E) ratio, and small size on the risk-adjusted excess returns are investigated for the fourth quarter of 1975 to the fourth quarter of 1985. The entire sample is divided into quintiles, and the resulting portfolios are rebalanced at the end of each quarter. Low price, low P/E ratio, and small value portfolios did experience greater excess returns. By applying the experimental control technique, the net effect of stock price is … Show more

“…This result contradicts some early American evidence on low PIE effect. However, it is consistent with conclusions by Elfakhani and Bishara (1991), Cooke and Rozeff(1984) and Tseng (1988) that PIE ratio acts as a proxy for the size effect. IS A close examination of the last two panels of Table 3 shows that the performance of market portfolio consistently dominates other portfolios.…”

“…Basu (1983) enhanced his previous research and found that high Earnings Price (low PE) stocks earned significantly greater risk adjusted returns even after controlling for firm size. Tseng (1988) and Jaffe et al (1989) found similar results which show that low PE ratio portfolios have higher risk adjusted return than high PE ratio portfolios. Fama & French (1992) also found positive abnormal returns related with low PE stocks.…”

“…Using NYSE common stocks as sample of analysis, Basu (1977Basu ( , 1983 confirmed by Jaffe et al (1989) found that stocks with high (low) PE ratios generate lower (higher) returns. Tseng (1988) conclude that low PE ratio portfolios are found to have higher risk adjusted return than high PE ratio portfolios. Trevino & Robertson (2002), using US stock market data, found that current PE ratios are useful in estimating long-term average stock returns but not for shortterm average stock returns.…”
