Stock returns and classification pattern of firm-specific financial variables: empirical evidence with Finnish data
Article Abstract:
The study examines the connection between first-hand classification patterns of firm-specific financial variables and stock returns in Finland's stock exchange market. Research was based on evidence that there are 4 financial characteristics of a firm which determine common stock returns: profitability, financial leverage, operating leverage and corporate development. Overall results show that the marginal utility of the evaluation of a large number of finanical ratios is low and that corporations should focus on a selective few for better results.
