Abstract

This study aims to identify and map the development and trends of research on stock returns. The objective is to provide a comprehensive overview of the evolution, focus areas, and intellectual structure of this research domain. A total of 4,318 publications from the Scopus database were analyzed using a systematic literature review guided by the PRISMA framework. Bibliometric techniques and VOSviewer software were employed to explore citation patterns, author collaboration networks, and frequently used keywords. This study offers an integrated bibliometric perspective on stock return research, presenting a conceptual model that links major themes influencing stock returns in organizational and market contexts. Research on stock returns has grown significantly since 1976, with the United States leading in publication output. Dominant topics include firm performance, market risk, dividend policy, and investor behavior. The bibliometric mapping reveals clustered themes and influential contributors in the field. This study contributes to understanding the stock return research landscape and provides insights for future studies, investment strategies, and financial policy formulation aligned with dynamic global markets.
