Abstract

Since the outbreak of Covid-19, the stock market has suffered from the unstable lash. This article focuses on the impact of Covid-19 on the stock market of the Healthcare industry, Medical Equipment industry, and Pharmaceutical Products industry. 172 trading days in each part of Covid-19 are selected to make regression analysis and the Fama-French Five-factor model is adopted to measure the sensitivity of stock returns. The emphasis of the article is to discuss the changes in five factors caused by Covid-19 and propose a reasonable stock-picking strategy. Caused by Covid-19, the coefficients and significance levels in three industries fluctuate. The results indicate that in different industries, investors should attach importance to different types of stock portfolios. A hedging strategy is suitable in every medical-related industry. Meanwhile, investors should pay attention to the portfolios of different investment rates in the Healthcare industry, the profitability in the Medical Equipment industry, and the stocks which have different book value and market value in the Pharmaceutical Products industry.
