Firm Size and Stock Returns: A Quantitative Survey

Abstract: Firm size is commonly used in numerous empirical asset pricing models as a determinant of expected stock returns. Yet there is little consensus over the magnitude and stability of the size premium. In fact, some researchers even question whether firm size should be used as a pricing factor. We collect 1746 estimates of the slope coefficients capturing the association between firm size and stock returns reported in 102 published studies and conduct the first meta‐analysis on the size premium. We find evidence o… Show more

This was confirmed also by the results of Dahoei and Saidi's [9] research which researched the Tehran Stock Exchange and Duy & Phuoc [10] who researched the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange, Also Astakhov et al [11] found that size negatively related to stock returns.…”

“…Following previous studies (e.g., Jizi et al 2016; Bolton and Kacperczyk 2020), five firm-characteristics variables used in our two models. The first one is firms size, SIZE, which is measured as the logarithm of market capitalization (Astakhov et al 2019). The second variable is the profitability, ROA, that is calculated by return on assets ratio (Dbouk et al 2018).…”

“…The negative relationship between size and stock returns has been examined in many studies (Astakhov et al., 2019). During certain subperiods, it is not significant, but overall, there is a premium of 1.72% between the smallest and largest quintiles of the NYSE (Astakhov et al., 2019).…”

“…The negative relationship between size and stock returns has been examined in many studies (Astakhov et al., 2019). During certain subperiods, it is not significant, but overall, there is a premium of 1.72% between the smallest and largest quintiles of the NYSE (Astakhov et al., 2019). While some studies assert that the size effect disappeared in the early 1980s, a recent study confirms that when accounting for profitability shocks, the size effect is present and accounted for (Hou & Van Dijk, 2019).…”
