Stock Price Mean Reversion to Fundamentals and Long-Run Return Predictability in the Tunisian Stock Market

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to examine the mean reversion hypothesis in the Tunisian stock market using two methods: We use a cointegration test technique between stock prices and fundamental value and we estimate the model of Chiang et al. (1995) developed to detect a potential mean reversion of stock prices to fundamental. Our results indicate that although stock prices diverge away from their fundamental value proxied by dividends or earnings, there is an error correction mechanism which adjusts stock pric… Show more

“…The inflation rate had a negative effect on stock market performance indicating that higher levels of inflation rate result in lower stock market indices in Kenya. Boussaidi and Kouki (2015) research results indicate that although stock prices diverge away from their fundamental value proxied by dividends or earnings, there is an error correction mechanism, which adjusts stock prices to revert back to their fundamental value. Evidence also shows that mean reversion supports the predictability of stock returns by the dividend to price and the price to earnings ratios.…”

“…Thus, a variable is said to be exhibited mean reversion behavior, if it has the tendency to revert back to its long-term average value over the period. Therefore, referring exhibiting mean reversion synonymous with showing long-term average returns (e.g., Chaves, Viswanathan 2016;Boussaidi, Kouki 2015;Huggins, Schaller 2013;etc.). Similarly, Hillebrand (2003) explains mean reversion as changes in the market returns or prices following a direction that is exhibiting a reversion level, which is observed in reaction to previous changes made.…”
