Abstract

Influenced by the “black swan incident” Covid-19, huge changes have occurred in the global financial market. Based on Kenneth. French-Data Library, this paper uses multiple linear regression to analyze the statistical data of the U.S. stock financial industry before and during Covid-19, which is used to test the impact of Covid-19 on the financial industry and effectiveness of the Fama-French five-factor model (FF-5 model). The result shows that the epidemic had a certain stimulative effect on applying the Fama-French five-factor model in the real stock market. Among them, the coefficients and significance level of MKT, SMB, and HML have increased significantly, making the model more sensitive to capture changes in risky assets, although CMA and RMW are redundant. In addition, Covid-19 has had a huge influence on the financial industry with sharp fluctuation of related industry indexes. The market differentiation structure of the financial industry and investors’ risk appetite also have changed significantly during this period.
