The result shows that stock returns are not affected by only market excess returns but also by size and market-to-book ratio. Moreover, earnings yield helps the three-factor model to capture more variation in stock returns, suggesting that the involvement of earnings yield has improved the efficiency of the Fama and French three-factor model.
