| Tiivistelmä: | This paper incorporates the findings of empirical classification patterns of financial ratios to studies investigating the relation between stock returns and financial factors of a firm. The empirical results indicate that the relevant information of the investigated financial characteristics of a firm can be presented in one factor, with respect to which single financial ratios seem not to have incremental information content in the Finnish stock market. In cross-industry sample this factor is reported to be leverage. However, when studying purely industrial firms, the most important factor consists of ratios representing several a priori characteristics of a firm. |
