VALUE OF FINANCIAL RATIOS IN PREDICTING STOCK RETUNS: A STUDY ON BORSA ISTANBUL (BIST)
Purpose- This paper investigates whether financial ratios can predict stock returns for the period between from 2004: II and 2014: IV in the Borsa Istanbul (BIST). For this purpose, four financial raitos have been used that include price to book ratio (P/B), price to earning ratio (P/E), dividend per share (DPS) and firm sizes are selected.
