Abstract: This paper decomposes a firm's unexpected stock returns (unexpected excess stock returns) into intellectual capital news and expected return news (expected excess stock return news) and develops a variance decomposition model to analyze the factors that cause shocks to stock returns and excess stock returns. We also split intellectual capital into recorded and unrecorded intellectual capital, and investigate the value relevance of expected return news and recorded and unrecorded intellectual capital news.
