Abstract
This paper attempts to study the relationship between price-earnings ratio and stock returns. We find that stocks with lower price-earnings ratio can obtain higher returns than stocks with higher price-earnings ratio. This finding applies not only to simple returns, but also to risk-adjusted returns based on CAPM, as well as Fama-French (1993) three-factor model. In addition, to test the ability of PE risk factors in explaining asset prices, this price-earnings ratio factor is added into the Fama- French three-factor model as a new pricing factor. The results show that PE risk factor significant affect stock returns. This contributes to the asset pricing literature.
