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...
