Abstract

Stock performance evaluation is an important subject widely studied for both theoretical and practical purposes. It is particularly relevant for the highly cyclical airline industry now in a financial crisis. Here it is shown that the use of conventional performance measures, such as the Sharpe ratio, could seriously mislead investors regarding stock performances of airline companies.
