Abstract | This paper examines the predictability of implied required rate of return (ROI) of individual stock in the cross-section of stock returns. The required rate of return of each stock is implied using its corresponding stock options and used in es-timating the fundamental value of stock. The study finds that stocks with low price to fundamental value have higher future returns. The inferred ROI is compared with other required rate of return derived by CAPM and Fama-French three factor model in return prediction and trading. The findings indicate that the proposed model outperforms the other two models. The forward looking ROI provides a superior estimation of fundamental value than the other two back-looking models and is better able to predict future returns. The empirical results also evidence that the proposed model provides accurate trading signals compared with the other valuation models as well as value benchmarks like price to earnings and dividend yield ratios. |
