SUPERVISOR DR NGUYEN TRAN PHUC HO CHI MINH CITY, 2018 i ABSTRACT This dissertation studies the impact of influence factors on P/E ratios and to build regression models for estimating and forecasting P/E ratios It employs data of 123 listed companies on HOSE over the period 2008 -2016 Besides, the purpose of the study is to provide empirical model foundations for investigating whether portfolios consisting of low P/E ratio stocks provide better than average returns The empirical researches are divided into two parts Firstly, descriptive analysis, correlation analysis and regression process are used to examine the correlations Regression estimation and selection of estimation are built up the estimation model Finally, the author build up empirical model that investment in low P/E ratio stocks provides higher returns than that in high P/E ratio stocks by using the comparison between mean of overvalued stock return and undervalued ones The empirical results demonstrate that dividend payout ratios, growth rate, beta and return on equity have effect on P/E ratios and it is possible to invest in low P/E ratios to beat the market Moreover, the research effect will be better with more factors employed ii DECLARATION OF AUTHENTICITY I declare that this dissertation is my original work, gathered and utilized especially to fulfil the purposes and objectives of this study, and has not been previously submitted to any other university for a higher degree I have mentioned all people who were significant facilitators of the work Ho Chi Minh City, May, 2018 Nguyen Minh Nguyet iii
