News and Returns All news, and announcements contain anticipated
and unexpected components The market prices assets based on what is
expected to happen (Anticipated news)Changes in expectations will cause the price to
move Unexpected news is a surprise and will cause
prices to moveSurprises cause unexpected returns

Breaking Returns Down
A security’s return is comprised of:1. The expected return, based on expectations2. The un-expected return, based on surprises
Therefore, a stock’s return is:

Breaking Returns Down (2)
We defined returns as: We can break U down further: is the return earned because of unexpected
movements in the economy is the return from firm specific surprises

Example Assume that SML, HML and Mkt represent the
economy Expected SML to be 3%, but it was 8%; surprise is?
0.08 – 0.03 = 5% Expected HML to be 4%, but it was 1%; surprise is?
0.01 – 0.04 = -3% Expected Mkt to be 10%, but it was stable; surprise is?
0.00 - 0.10 = -10% Finally, the firm attracted a “superstar” CEO, this is?

Underlying Assumption
The assumption underlying our discussion, is that the stock is priced in an efficient market

What is an efficient market? A market is efficient when it uses all available
information to price assets.Information is quickly incorporated into prices
Efficiency is the degree to which prices reflect available information.
Stock prices only respond to surprises, which arrives randomly, so prices follow a random walk
Price tomorrow = today’s price + random (+/-)

Potential Causes of Efficient Markets
Investor RationalityEveryone is rational → Everyone makes the right
decision Independent Deviation from Rationality
No one is rational → Everyone makes the wrong decision but each makes a different wrong decision
Average out the wrongness Arbitrage
Only some people are rational → Smart money takes from less smart money

Weak Form Efficiency
Prices reflect all information contained in past prices and volumesNo investor is able to form a trading strategy based
on historic prices and volumes and earn an excess return

Disbelievers
Chartists, or Technical AnalystsAnalyze “charts” of a stock‘s Price and/or Volume
Chartist believe in identifiable and predictable patterns in these characteristicsMake investment decisions based on these patterns
Brokerage firms tend to love chartists

Why Technical Analysis Fails
-If there is a profitable pattern, everyone would do it
-If everyone follows the same strategy competition will eliminate any opportunity associated with the pattern

Semi-Strong Form Efficiency
Security prices reflect all publicly available information.Encompasses weak form efficiency
Publicly available information includes: Historical price and volume information Published accounting statements Information found in the WSJ

Disbelievers
Fundamental AnalystsUse revenues, earnings, future growth forecasts,
return on equity, profit margins, and other data to determine a company's underlying value and potential for future growth (Financial Statements)
These guys make more sense than technical analysts. Why?

Strong Form Efficiency Strong form efficiency says that anything
pertinent to the stock price and known to at least one investor is already incorporated in the security’s price.Public & PrivateImplies: Insider trading will not earn excess return
Strong form efficiency incorporates weak and semi-strong form efficiency.

What EMH Does and Does NOT Say Investors can throw darts to select stocks.
Kind of: We still need to consider risk Prices are random or uncaused.
Prices reflect information. Price CHANGES are driven by new information,
which by definition is random

Implications of Efficient Markets Purchase or sale of any security can never be a
positive NPV transaction. Trust market prices Stocks with similar risk are substitutes Mutual fund managers cannot systematically
outperform the market

The Evidence The record on the EMH is extensive,
and generally supportive of the market being semi-strong form efficient

Event Studies
Event Studies examine returns around information release datesEX: Earnings, Dividend announcementsA test of semi-strong form efficiency
Look at how quickly prices adjust to the informationLooking for under-reaction, over-reaction, early
reaction, or delayed reaction around the event.

25
Event Study Results The studies generally support the view that the
market is semi-strong form efficient. Studies suggest that markets may even have
some foresight into the future, i.e., news tends to leak out in advance of public announcements.

The Record of Mutual Funds If the market is semi-strong form efficient,
then mutual fund managers, should not be able to consistently beat the average market return
When we compare the record of mutual fund performance to a market index, we see that mutual funds are not able to CONSISTENTLY beat the market.Consistent with the market being semi-strong form
efficient

Insider trading Strong form market efficiency implies
that even insiders trading on private information cannot earn excess return
A number of studies find that insiders are able to earn abnormal profitsViolation of Strong form efficiency

Verdict on Market Efficiency
Market is pretty efficient Opportunities for easy profits are rare. Financial managers should assume, at least as
a starting point, that security prices are fair and that it is difficult to outguess the market.
New information is rapidly incorporated into the prices.

EMH Exercises Indicate whether or not the EMH is contradicted,
if so which form of EMH is contradicted An investor consistently earn an abnormal return over
that expected by the market by examining charts of historical prices
The acquisition of the latest annual report of a company enables an investor to earn an abnormal return.
A stock which has been fluctuating between $25 and $27 in the last three months suddenly rises to $40 per share right after management announces a new project that has a promising impact on the firm's expected future cash inflows.
By subscribing to the Value Line Investment Survey, an investor can earn at least 5% over that earned by the market on comparable risk investments.

Horse Race
There are three horse racing in the Finance Derby. Your horse is “Love of NPV”. If your horse has a 30% chance of coming in first, and a 40% chance of coming in second. How much do you expect your horse to win? 1st pays $1,500 2nd pays $750 3rd pays $250

Measuring Risk There is no universally agreed-upon
measureHowever, variance and standard deviation are both
widely accepted measures of total risk

Statistics Review: Variance Variance (σ2) measures the dispersion of
possible outcomes around μ Standard deviation (σ) is the square root of
variance Higher variance (std dev), implies a higher
dispersion of possible outcomesMore uncertainty
![Page 41: Market Efficiency](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568166a4550346895dda91d8/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

42
Variance Calculation Variance = σ2 = Σpi * (Xi – μ)2: Use this one
Alternative formulas you may have seen σ2 = Σ(Xi – μ)2 / N σ2 = Σ(Xi – μ)2 / (N-1)
All give similar answers with large samplesBUT each give very different answers with small
samples
Ex. s=3σ2 = p1 * (X1 – μ)2 + p2 * (X2 – μ)2 + p3 * (X3 – μ)2

Historical Data
In practice we do not know all of the possible states of the world, so we use historical data to form expectationsIdea: Look at what has happened in the past and
we can calculate the mean and variance What is each states probability of occurring?

Risk
A risky asset is one in which the rate of return is uncertain.
Risk is measured by ________________

Risk
A risky asset is one in which the rate of return in uncertain.
Risk is measured by standard deviation. higher σ → more uncertainty

General Securities
T-bills are a very safe investment No default risk, short maturity Risk free asset
Stocks are much riskier Bond’s riskiness is between T-bills and Stocks
![Page 53: Market Efficiency](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568166a4550346895dda91d8/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Why Do We Demand a Higher Return Investors seem to dislike risk (ex. insurance)
Risk Averse If the expected return on T-Bills (risk-free), is
10%, and the expected return for Ford is 10%, which would you buy?The 10% offered by T-Bills is guaranteed while
this is not the case for FordA guaranteed 10% dominates a possible 10%

Return Breakdown
A risky asset’s return has two components:Risk free rate + Risk premium
Risk free rate: The return one can earn from investing in T-Bills
Risk Premium: The return over and above the risk free rateCompensation for bearing risk

Average Risk Premiums (1926-2005)
Small company stocks : 17.4% – 3.8% = 13.6%
Large company stocks : 12.3% – 3.8% = 8.5%
Long-term corporate bonds : 6.2% – 3.8% = 2.4%
The more risk the larger the risk premium
