Abstract

Many researchers have contributed much to asset pricing theory and continuously try to find the best model to capture stock average return. The CAPM model and Fama-French 3-factor model, Fama-French 5-factor model is another way to capture the return rates and their changes. At the beginning of 2020, COVID-19 spread all over the world, which influenced the U.S. stock market a lot. Therefore, this paper tends to test the performances of Fama-French 5 factors models on consumption-related industry in U.S stock market before and after the outbreak of COVID-19 with multiple linear regression and examine the reasons. The results show that Fama-French 5-factor model captures the return of stocks in the U.S. stock market. As for specific factors, Market risk (MKT) shows significance both before and after COVID-19, and the power of explanation becomes stronger, that means this factor affects the return of stocks in the U.S. stock market a lot. Small minus big (SMB) varies a lot during the pandemic, it becomes insignificant after the epidemic and its negative coefficient indicates the excess return was due to a large size company. Due to COVID-19, High minus Low (HML) began to play a positive role in soda and smoke market. For five-factor model, Robust Minus Weak (RMW) changed its position and became weaker. The position of Conservative Minus Aggressive (CMA) remained unchanged. After the outbreak, CMA became less significant.
