Abstract (Swedish)
Title: Returns on Assets and Returns on Stocks: Based on Swedish Market. Authors:Tatiana Studyanikova and Eirini Sarantopoulou. Advisor:Hossein Asgharian. Key Words: Returns on assets (ROA), returns on stocks (ROS), variation, principal component analysis, firm-specific level. Purpose: Examine whether common factors of returns on stocks and returns on assets explain most of the variation in returns and earnings. Define the nature of the relation between the common factors of returns on assets and returns on stocks. Theoretical Background: This study is based on the principal component analysis and the factor model. Methodology:There have been derived 10 principal components for returns on assets and returns on stocks. By estimating... (More)

Purpose: Examine whether common factors of returns on stocks and returns on assets explain most of the variation in returns and earnings. Define the nature of the relation between the common factors of returns on assets and returns on stocks. Theoretical Background: This study is based on the principal component analysis and the factor model. Methodology:There have been derived 10 principal components for returns on assets and returns on stocks. By estimating time-series regressions, the amount of the variance explained by those common factors, for ROA and ROS, has been calculated and the correlation between them has been computed. Empirical Outcomes and Conclusions: The outcomes revealed that, for the firm-specific level, principal components of returns on assets explain more of the ROA variance when compared to the size of the variance which is explained by common factors in case of ROS. The insignificant correlation between the principal components of ROA and ROS has been found. (Less)
