On rebounds and reversions, does quality and predictability matter?
There is generally a re-balancing that takes place in the stock market: cheap stocks will rebound, and expensive stocks will revert. But not all cheap companies will rise and not all expensive companies will fall.
But how and why does this happen, and what drives these differences?
In our latest paper, we examine this phenomenon through the lens of company quality and earnings predictability. In both cases, there is a strong rationale to drive up the value premium and therefore the performance of the Value strategy by reducing the overweight to lower quality and less predictable cheap stocks, and reducing our underweight to higher quality expensive or more predictable expensive stocks.
