Note(s): This table reports the results from regressions of one-week future returns on the option volume ratio quintiles, O/S(Q) and P/C(Q). The dependent variable is the next-week raw return and the next-week market-adjusted return. t-statistics are based on standard errors adjusted for firm-clustering effect and are in parentheses. ***, ** and * denote statistical significance at the 1%, 5% and 10% levels, respectively. The sample period is from November 2014 to May 2022
