Note(s): The stocks were first sorted by control variable and subsequently sorted by PC1 within each control group. For each quintile by PC1, value-weighted returns are averaged across the control groups. To save space, excess returns, CAPM alphas and FF3 alphas are computed only for low-, high-, and high-minus-low portfolios. The Newey–West adjusted t-statistics with a lag of 12 are reported in parentheses. ***, ** and * indicate the 1%, 5% and 10% statistical significance, respectively
