Abstract

The impetus of this paper is to examine the superiority of modern value-based measures over traditional accounting measures in predicting the shareholder return measured as the stock price appreciation and dividend paid during a period. To examine relative and incremental information content, panel data regression models were used on sample data of 77 BSE listed pharmaceutical firms during the period from 2007 to 2015. The relative information content test reveals that the EPS outperformed the modern value-based measure. And also, incremental information content test reveals that the modern value-based measures significantly predict shareholder return than accounting measures. The results suggest that the managers and investors need to consider the value-based measures in assessing the firms' performance. For evaluating the firms' ability in generating higher returns they also need to consider market conditions, capital intensity and other determinants.
