We study the link between the profitability of momentum strategies and firm size, drawing on an extensive dataset … covering 14 stock markets across the globe. International momentum profitability is markedly higher in medium-size than in big … incurred when implementing this strategy. Thus, while small stocks exhibit momentum, exploiting this feature is hardly feasible …
