Abstract: This paper examines the role of news and various firm specific factors in excess stock return of selected Indian banks. The regression models are developed using capital asset pricing model and firm specific factors like Size, Book Value to Market Value (BV/MV) Ratio and Earning to Price (E/P) Ratio. In addition to these, factors such as no. of news and first order autoregressive scheme (AR₁) are also added. The result suggests that the effect of Size variable is more significant than BV/MV ratio and E/P ratio. However, no. of news has no impact on excess stock return. Further, to check the role of news, residual analysis was done which concluded that nature and type of news has impact on excess stock return. The result suggests that the company specific news and sector specific news has significant impact while political news is least reflected in excess stock return.
