Predictive elements of the stock market in the foothball industry. by Seek, Kah Hoe., Tay, Henry Yong Qiang., Wong, Tracee Sze Wah.

“…In our findings, we identified that results from the domestic league have the strongest influence on stock returns as its beta is approximately five times more than the other two independent variables. Finally, with an adjusted R-square of 14%, there is an existence of a regression model to forecast the stock returns after knowing the match results. …”
