ABSTRACT

This paper studies risk-adjusted returns of standardized unexpected earnings(SUE) portfolios using stochastic discount factor approach to investigate what drives the post-earnings announcement drift(PEAD). The SUE hedge portfolio shows monthly return of 0.85% before risk adjustment. After risk adjustment by stochastic discount factor approach, the SUE hedge portfolio gives monthly return of 0.36%. It means that 57.6% of PEAD can be attributed to risk premium. However, residual monthly return of 0.36% after risk adjustment is significant at the 10% level, which indicates that PEAD can also be interpreted as delayed response.
