This study mainly discussed factors affecting the stock returns of Taiwan’s semiconductor industry and traditional industry portfolios. Based on the capital asset pricing model (CAPM), as well as the Fama and French three-factor model, monthly unexpected inflation was added in this study to form a four-factor model for analysis. This study divided the portfolio into groups according to the level of inflation risk to test whether the unexpected inflation has a significant impact on the return rate of Taiwan’s semiconductor industry and traditional industry portfolios, and the existence of an excess return. The empirical results indicate that for stocks of the traditional industry, under either the condition of three or five groups of inflation-βportfolios, no portfolio had excess returns in the CAPM and the four-factor model. In addition, monthly unexpected inflation did not show its influence on the stock returns of the inflation portfolio. This means that for stocks of the traditional industry, the stock price is more stable and less susceptible to unexpected inflation. However, for stocks of the semiconductor industry, there were excess returns in portfolios with higher inflation risk, and monthly unexpected inflation also affected the stock returns of the inflation portfolio. The higher the inflation risk in the portfolio was, the greater the excess return was. This means that investors must take higher risks if they want to achieve higher stock returns in their portfolios. |
