- An analyst gathered daily stock returns for Feburary 1 through March 31, calculated the Fama-French factors for each day in the sample (SMBt and HMLt), and estimated the Fama-French regression model shown in Equation 6-21. The estimated coefficients were ai = 0, bi = 1.2, ci = 0.4, and di = 1.3. On April 1, the market return was 10%, the return on the SMB portfolio (rSMB) was 3.2%, and the return on the HML portfolio (rHML) was 4.8%.
