Abstract: This paper contributes to the accounting and asset pricing anomalies literature by investigating the performance of value-to-price strategies, and the relationship between value-to-price ratio and several risk proxies. If the value-to-price ratio successfully predicts future returns at stock level, we hypothesize that portfolio sorts based on the V/P ratio generate excess returns and consist of companies that are undervalued for prolonged periods. Overlapping and non-overlapping returns are used to test the risk/mispricing explanation of the value-to-price strategy. Results, for the US market from 1987 to 2015, show that high V/P portfolios outperform low V/P portfolios across horizons extending from one to three years. The V/P ratio is positively correlated to future stock returns after controlling for several firm characteristics, which are well known risk proxies. Findings also indicate that profitability and investment add explanatory power to the Fama and French three factor model and for stocks with V/P ratio close to 1. However, these factors cannot explain all variation in excess returns especially for years two and three and for stocks with high V/P ratio. Finally, portfolios with the highest V/P stocks pick companies that are significantly mispriced relative to their equity (investment) and profitability growth persistence in the future.
