This paper investigates the explanatory powers of firm size, book-to-market, sales-to-price, debt-to-equity ratio, and dividend yield on the cross-section of returns on the Istanbul Stock Exchange (ISE). Our results indicate that each of these variables ( except dividend yield), commands a significant return premium when included in a simple regression model with the highest premium being associated with sales-to-price ratio. Our results suggest that sales-to-price ratio and debt-to-equity ratio have higher explanatory powers on the cross-sectional variability of returns on the ISE than firm size and book-to-market ratio, firm-specific variables that are documented to have the greatest explanatory power on the cross-section of U.S. stock returns (Fama and French, 1992).

A Note on Cross Section of Stock Returns on the Istanbul Stock Exchange Kayaçetin, Nuri Volkan; Güner, Zehra Nuray (Boğaziçi Üniversitesi, 2007-01-01) This paper investigates the explanatory powers of firm size, book-to-market, sales-to-price, debt-toequity ratio, and dividend yield on the cross-section of returns on the Istanbul Stock Exchange (ISE). Our results indicate that each of these variables (except dividend yield), commands a significant return premium when included in a simple regression model with the highest premium being associated with sales-to-price ratio. Our results suggest that sales-to-price ratio and debt-to-equity ratio have higher e...
An Investigation of Returns to Insider Transactions Evidence from the Istanbul Stock Exchange Çağdaş, Tahaoğlu; Güner, Zehra Nuray (2011-01-01) In this paper, the return performance of insiders of companies listed on the Istanbul Stock Exchange (ISE) from their open market transactions and that of uninformed investors (outsiders) following insider transactions announced to the public are examined by using a portfolio approach. It is found that, depending on the affiliation of the insider with the company, abnormal returns from their sale transactions last over longer periods than their purchase transactions. Furthermore, outsiders can also earn abn...
Cross sectional determinants of Turkish stock market returns Çeliker, Umut; Rhoades, Seza; Department of Business Administration (2004) This thesis analyzes the relationship between stock returns and firm-specific characteristics including market beta, size, book-to-market ratio, leverage, earnings yield, net sales-to-price ratio and prior return performance in Istanbul Stock Exchange during the period 1993-2003. Moreover, the predictability of some macroeconomic variables based on the stock market return behavior is investigated.
Robust portfolio planning in the presence of market anomalies Oguzsoy, Cemal Berk; Güven, Sibel (Elsevier BV, 2007-02-01) In this study, a short-term portfolio modeling formulation is developed using existing anomalies as a single determinant for daily Istanbul Stock Exchange National 100 Composite Index (ISE) and US dollars (USD) returns in a Robust optimization (RO) framework. Using anomalies in planning within an RO framework establishes a balance between risk seeking and risk averse behaviors, as generating profit from anomalies is risky and RO enables to settle down the extreme risk seeking behavior. Applications of the m...
The inflation-hedging properties of Turkish REITs Erol, Işıl; Tirtiroglu, Dogan (Informa UK Limited, 2008-01-01) This study empirically tests the inflation-hedging abilities of Turkish REITs in comparison to the indices of common stocks listed on the Istanbul Stock Exchange (ISE) over the period December 1999 to December 2004. Two main factors motivate this study. First, compared to their counterparts in developed capital markets, Turkish REITs have some important tax incentives as well as flexibility in managing their portfolios. Second, the Turkish economy provides a rare and good opportunity to test the hedging beh...
