Abstract:
In the context of this research project, some information has also been presented
concerning the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) and the Fama French Three
Factor (FF3FM) model and their implication on the expected returns of Islamic stocks,
from the point of view of the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX). Data such as the
monthly price returns of all 262 companies (KMI-all share index) from the year 2010
to 2023 have been included and tested to check the impact of independent variables
such as market premium (excess market returns when deducted from the risk-free rate),
firm size, book to market value on the dependent variable that is the expected returns
on Islamic stocks using the CAPM and Fama French Three Factor Model. First-pass
and second-pass regression are part of the methodology process for the Lintner
Approach (1965) that is used for testing the Capital Asset Pricing Model model and
for the Fama French Three Factor Model (FF3FM) the Generalized Method of
Moments (GMM) regression has been applied. These results demonstrate the
significance of taking into account factors other than market risk when evaluating
returns and helping to clarify asset pricing in the context of Shariah-compliant
companies.
