In the light of this assertion, the objective of this study is to apply CAPM on the NSE sector stocks from 2000-2012. Being an empirical study, secondary dataset collected from the financial statements of the subject-firms, NSE/CBN was used. The study concludes that the CAPM is not a good predictor of stock return in the selected sectors of the NSE. ER -
