Extract

The importance of accounting information on security price determination is of interest to both security analysts and accountants. Beaver [3], Downes and Dyckman [6], Gonedes [12], Beaver and Manegold [4], and others have investigated the possible relationships between accounting information and market information. Rosenberg [26] has shown the existence of extra-market components of covariance in security returns while Simkowitz and Logue (S–L) [28] have derived the interdependent structure of security returns. However, none of this research has explicitly investigated how the empirical results can be affected by alternative accounting profitability measures within an industry simultaneously.
