efficiency and future stock returns. A high level of innovative activity, even if successful in the past, is likely to be associated with greater economic uncertainty and possession of real options, and therefore high risk and expected result in greater better stock performance. In terms of efficiency estimations, a decline in the cost or an increase in the profitability of a bank is expected to create better financial performance resulting in greater stock returns. In an efficient market therefore, a change in cost or profit efficiency should be incorporated in the price formation process. Recent research suggests that a firm’s innovative efficiency (IE) is a strong positive predictor of future stock returns. Using a panel of 3084 international firms over the 1999–2015 period, this study attests to the predictive power of IE for subsequent returns, but disputes the linearity of the underlying relationship. First, we employ performance attribution regressions, by forming portfolios based on efficiency scores and tracking the performance of the various portfolios over time. Second, we perform cross-sectional/panel regressions to determine whether firm efficiency indeed has explanatory power for the cross-section of stock returns. We find that innovative efficiency (IE), patents or citations scaled by research and development expenditures, is a strong positive predictor of future returns after controlling for firm characteristics and risk. In this study, we examine the relation between innovative efficiency and subsequent operating performance as well as stock returns. By innovative efficiency, we mean a firm's ability to generate patents and patent citations per dollar of research and development (R&D) investment. The denominator, R&D, measures resource input to innovation. We find that innovative efficiency (IE), patents or citations scaled by R&D, is a strong positive predictor of future returns after controlling for firm characteristics and risk.
