Investor Sentiment and the Cross-Section of Stock Returns Author info | Abstract | Publisher info | Download info | Related research | Statistics MALCOLM BAKER
JEFFREY WURGLER
Additional information is available for the following
registered author(s):
We study how investor sentiment affects the cross-section of stock returns. We predict that a wave of investor sentiment has larger effects on securities whose valuations are highly subjective and difficult to arbitrage. Consistent with this prediction, we find that when beginning-of-period proxies for sentiment are low, subsequent returns are relatively high for small stocks, young stocks, high volatility stocks, unprofitable stocks, non-dividend-paying stocks, extreme growth stocks, and distressed stocks. When sentiment is high, on the other hand, these categories of stock earn relatively low subsequent returns. Copyright 2006 by The American Finance Association.
