Compute the stock returns of the SIX companies from June 4 to June 26, 2018.

Find the close price of June 4 and close price of June 26. Compute the holding period returns r=(P1-P0)/P0

Answer 1

Holding period return = (P1 - P0)/P0

where,

P1 = Closing price on June 26

P0 = Closing price on June 4

Holding period return of GoDaddy = (70.74 - 73.83)/73.83

= - 3.09/73.83

= - 4.18%

Holding period return of Southwest Airlines = (51.17 - 51.65)/51.65

= - 0.48/51.65

= - 0.93%

Holding period return of Aflac = (44 - 45.43)/45.43

= - 1.43/45.43

= - 3.15%

Holding period return of AT&T = (31.62 - 32.41)/32.41

= - 0.79/32.41

= - 2.44%

Holding period return of Hewlett Packard = (23.05 - 22.74)/22.74

= 0.31/22.74

= 1.36%

Holding period return of MGM Resorts = (29.16 - 31.54)/31.54

= - 2.38/31.54

= - 7.55%
