This paper investigates the existence of contrarian profits and the sources of these profits, for the Athens Stock Exchange (ASE). The empirical analysis decomposes contrarian profits to sources due to common factor reaction, overreaction to firm-specific information, and profits not related to...

Given the lack of evidence in the literature regarding UK short-term contrarian profits and their decomposition, this paper investigates the existence of contrarian profits for the London Stock Exchange (LSE), and decomposes them to sources due to common factors and to firm-specific news,...

Recent empirical studies seem to suggest that contrarian strategies make substantial profits that may be inconsistent with informationaly efficient markets. This paper examines whether the detection of contrarian profits is sensitive to the definition of abnormal returns and the duration of the...

This paper provides evidence on short-term contrarian profits and their sources for the London Stock Exchange. Profits are decomposed to sources due to factors derived from the <link rid="b21">Fama and French (1996)</link> three-factor model. For the empirical testing, size-sorted sub-samples are used, and adjustments...
