Abstract
The main goal of this study is to examine firm and market level variables that predict stock returns by using quarterly data taken from July 1999 to December 2015. The study sample is sub-divided into pre and post financial crisis of 2007-08. The results of the study depict that in the pre-financial crisis period momentum and earnings growth rate are the significant predictors of stock returns while momentum, earnings growth rate, institutional ownership and trading volume are the significant predictors of stock returns in the post-financial crisis period. Furthermore, overall results show that momentum, earnings growth rate and size are the significant predictors of stock returns for the overall sample period. The results of the study are robust and can be generalized to other time periods.
