6.5 A Single-Index Stock Market
Excess Return
Where:
: component of return due to movements in overall market
: security’s responsiveness to market
: stock’s expected excess return if market factor is neutral, i.e. market-index excess return is zero
: Component attributable to unexpected events relevant only to this security (firm-specific)
