Abstract
This paper studies whether the financial strength measure, F-score, can predict returns in the Chinese stock market and its economic explanations. The results suggest that high F-score firms can generate high expected stock returns. Additionally, the predictability of F-score is robust after controlling for common factors in Fama–French models, and other firm characteristics and risks. We find that the premium generated by F-score in Chinese stock market is stronger following higher level of investor sentiment and for firms with higher limits to arbitrage and lower investment frictions, consistent with both the behavioral mispricing and the investment-q asset pricing theories.
