Abstract

The pandemic caused by Covid-19 has created a severe global economic recession and destroyed many industries since it broke out at the beginning of 2020. However, many companies in construction material industry had an outstanding performance last fiscal year. This paper applied Fama-French five-factor model to analyze the effect on the construction material industry under the Covid-19. Based on the daily five-factor data (US construction material industry stocks) from the US database, this paper selects the corresponding 18-month data, with the outbreak point of March 2020 as the dividing line (March 2020 to November 2020 is post-epidemic, while June 2019 to February 2020 is pre-epidemic). During the process of multiple-regression analysis, each coefficient of different factors has been compared, and then, it has been found that HML and RMW both have significant changes. COVID-19 has a dramatic positive effect on the construction material industry and investors prefer to invest in the companies with small scale and robust profitability.
