| Abstract: | This study examines short-term abnormal returns of the contrarian investment strategy in the Japanese stock market. The authors provide empirical evidence that (1) the short-run contrarian strategy remains profitable after systematic risk and firm size are taken into account; (2) the seasonality effect does not explain the reported short-run contrarian profits; (3) abnormal profits are reported regardless of whether losers are smaller or greater than winners and the magnitude of the profits does not differ after an adjustment for firm size. |
