Abstract

Based on the Fama-French three-factor and five-factor models, this article empirically studies the changes in the pharmaceutical industry of the US stock market before and after the epidemic and analyzes the medical-related industry and its three sub-sectors of health care, medical equipment, and pharmaceuticals. The results show the explanatory power of the two models after the epidemic has changed. The overall change in market factors is relatively small. The epidemic has not affected the "small-scale" effect of the US stock pharmaceutical industry, and the market is more ignorant of growth stocks. The book-to-market ratio and investment style factors are redundant. For the sub-industry, the profit factor in the health care industry has become redundant due to the impact of the epidemic, and the growth stocks of the medical equipment industry and the pharmaceutical industry have made significant gains, and they are more speculative after the epidemic. For the government and the capital market, the pharmaceutical industry plays an important role in stabilizing society and promoting economic development and deserves firm and long-term support and effective supervision.
