Prognozowalność stóp zwrotu z akcji w krajach Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej

Prognozowalność zwrotu z akcji w krajach wysoko rozwiniętych ma uzasadnienie zarówno empiryczne, jak i teoretyczne w literaturze z zakresu finansów. Celem artykułu jest uzyskanie odpowiedzi na pytanie, czy wskaźniki wyceny rynkowej, które odnoszą wartości indeksów giełdowych do różnych wielkości księgowych, wykazują się zdolnością prognostyczną w stosunku do przyszłych długookresowych zwrotów z tych indeksów na rynkach kapitałowych w kilku krajach Europy Środkowo‑Wschodniej: w Czechach, na Węgrzech, w Polsce i w Rosji. Badanie zostało przeprowadzone według standardowej metodologii z wykorzystaniem analizy regresji liniowej. Ze względu na problem nakładających się okresów (overlapping periods) oraz obciążenia dla małych prób w regresjach posłużono się zgodnymi estymatorami heteroskedastyczności i autokorelacji z korektą stopni swobody dla małych prób. Wyniki przeprowadzonego badania dowodzą, że niektóre z tych wskaźników, takie jak stosunek indeksu do dziesięcioletniej średniej ruchomej realnych zysków spółek, powszechnie znany jako wskaźnik ceny do zysków skorygowanych cyklicznie (cyclically adjusted price/earnings – CAPE), wskaźnik ceny do prognozowanych zysków, wartość rynkowa do wartości księgowej oraz cena do przychodów ze sprzedaży, mają silną moc predykcyjną dla skumulowanych zwrotów głównie w długich horyzontach czasowych. Z drugiej strony stosunek ceny do rocznych zysków, stopa dywidendy lub cena do przepływów pieniężnych okazują się dość słabymi predyktorami przyszłych zwrotów. Podążając za argumentami z obszaru finansów behawioralnych, wnioskować można, że uzyskane w badaniu dowody świadczące o dość istotnym powiązaniu bieżących wartości wskaźników rynkowych z przyszłymi skumulowanymi stopami zwrotu wskazują na pewien stopień nieefektywności analizowanych rynków w badanym okresie.

Stock return predictability in highly developed countries has both empirical and theoretical justification in financial literature. The article aims to answer the question if market valuation ratios that relate share prices to various accounting quantities have any predictive power for long‑term stock index returns on investments in capital markets of some Central and Eastern European countries, namely the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Russia. Heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation‑consistent estimators with a small‑sample degrees of freedom adjustment were used in regressions to track the overlapping data problem and small sample bias. The results of an investigation show that some of these ratios, such as price to a ten‑year moving average of real earnings, commonly known as the cyclically adjusted price earnings (CAPE) ratio, price to estimated profits, market to book value and price to sales revenues have a strong predictive power for cumulative returns mainly over long horizons. On the other hand, price to one‑year earnings, dividend yield or price to cash flow ratios prove to be quite poor predictors. Following the arguments of behavioural finance, we conclude that the evidence obtained in the study proving a fairly significant link between current values of market ratios and future cumulative returns indicates a certain degree of ineffectiveness of the analysed markets during the examined period.
