Dimensional Fund Advisors - "Singled Out: Historical Performance of Individual Stocks"

 

Using data from CRSP and Compustat. The US market includes all US common stocks without gaps in monthly data for a given rolling period. Delisted stocks with delisting codes between 200 and 399 are considered good delists; bad delists are 400 or greater. Outperformance is defined relative to the value-weighted market at each cross-section. Statistics reported are averages computed across rolling multiyear periods formed monthly from the cross-section of stocks available at the start of that month.
