Value investing anomalies in the European stock market: Multiple Value, Consistent Earner, and Recognized Value

Abstract

Empirical academic studies have consistently found that value stocks outperform glamour stocks and the market as a whole. This article extends prevailing research on existing value anomalies. It evaluates simple value strategies for the European stock market (compared to many other studies that test market data on a country-by-country basis) as well as sophisticated multi-dimensional value strategies that also include capital return variables (Consistent Earner Strategy) and momentum factors (Recognized Value Strategy), the latter reconciling intermediate horizon momentum and long-term reversals of behavioral finance theories. It can be shown that these "enhanced" value strategies can produce superior returns compared to returns of the whole market or "simple" value strategies without capturing higher risks applying traditional risk measures.
