The Expected Stock Returns Of Malaysian Firms: A Panel Data Analysis

Abstract: We used panel data set of 1729 observations (247 Malaysian companies listed on the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange for 1993-2000) to identify variables that could explain expected returns of Malaysian stocks. Our results are based on the fixed effects regression model as it performed better than the random effects model and OLS model without the firm effects.

“…This finding contradicts the concept of CAPM in which beta is supposed to be positively correlated with stock return. Studies on the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange and Istanbul Stock Exchange also indicate that beta is positively correlated with stock return (Chambers et al, 2013;Pandey, 2001). However, according to other research, this relationship can be negative in other emerging markets (Mollah & Mobarek, 2005).…”

“…In addition, several studies have documented a positive relationship between profitability and dividend payments and stock prices (Han et al, 1999, andFrench, 2002). Data from ECMs also support the claim that profitability is one of the most important factors determining the dividend policy and stock prices (Pandey, 2001 andAivazian et al, 2003).…”
