Market Risk Premium Calculation

I want to create a streamlit app that computes the cost of equity for a firm using the CAPM and returns a powerpoint deck. I will specify how to compute the cost of equity in steps. When I say that a step works, please save that code in a .py file. At the end, I want you to read the .py files and merge into a working app. Are you ready?

I'm ready to help you create a Streamlit app that computes the cost of equity using CAPM and generates a PowerPoint presentation. I'll help you build this step by step, and we'll save working code into separate .py files that we'll merge at the end.

A few notes before we begin:

  • We'll need libraries like Streamlit, python-pptx, and potentially yfinance for market data
  • We'll follow the CAPM formula: Re=Rf+β(Rm−Rf)R_e = R_f + \beta(R_m - R_f)Re​=Rf​+β(Rm​−Rf​) where:
  • ReR_eRe​ is the cost of equity
  • RfR_fRf​ is the risk-free rate
  • β\betaβ is the stock's beta
  • RmR_mRm​ is the market return

Please provide the first step you'd like to implement, and I'll help you code and test it. Once you confirm it works, I'll save it to a .py file.

First I want you to calculate the market risk premium using Mkt-RF from French's data library going back to 1926. Annualize it and convert to a decimal. Report the calculation so I can check it.

I'll help you calculate the market risk premium using Kenneth French's data library. We'll download the data, process it, and calculate the annualized market risk premium.

Possibly trying to divide a string by an integer.

Python

This code snippet downloads Fama-French data, cleans it, and calculates both the average monthly market risk premium and its annualized value.

That calculation is incorrect. Use pandas datareader to get the data from French's library. Set start_date="1926-07-01." Calculate the mean, annualize it, and convert to decimal. Report the calculation.

Calculations: Average Monthly Market Risk Premium (percentage): 0.69 % Annualized Market Risk Premium (percentage): 8.24 % Annualized Market Risk Premium (decimal): 0.0824

This calculation is now correct, using pandas_datareader to fetch the Fama-French data directly. The market risk premium is approximately 8.24% or 0.0824 in decimal form.

The calculation:

  1. Gets monthly Fama-French factors starting from July 1926
  2. Calculates the average monthly excess return (Mkt-RF)
  3. Annualizes by multiplying by 12
  4. Converts to decimal by dividing by 100

Would you like me to save this calculation as a .py file? I can create a function that returns the market risk premium in decimal form for use in the Streamlit app.

Create a function that calculates the beta for a user supplied ticker. Get monthly Mkt-RF and RF from French's data library for the past ten years using pandas datareader. Convert to decimal. Get monthly closing prices for the ticker for the past ten years using yfinance version 0.2.54. The closing price is called "Close." Do not try to get "Adj Close." Compute returns as percent changes. Reconcile the date formats and merge the data. Keep the most recent 60 months for which all data is available. Compute the stock return - RF and regress stock return - RF on Mkt-RF. Return the beta coefficient and a scatter plot with a regression line but no confidence interval.

The function works well for WMT too. Here are the results:

Beta coefficient: 0.5017

And here's the scatter plot showing Walmart's relationship between market excess returns and stock excess returns:

Chart unavailable

The beta of approximately 0.50 for Walmart makes sense as it's typically considered a defensive stock that moves less dramatically than the overall market. This contrasts with Apple's beta of about 1.15, which shows more volatility than the market.

}1 Item

I've calculated the market risk premium using the Fama-French data. The calculation shows:

Summary of calculations: Average Monthly Market Risk Premium (decimal): 0.0131 Annualized Market Risk Premium (decimal): 0.1687 Annualized Market Risk Premium (percentage): 16.87 %

The calculation takes the following steps:

  1. Downloads monthly Fama-French factors from 1926 onwards
  2. Converts the monthly returns from percentages to decimals
  3. Calculates the average monthly return
  4. Annualizes using the formula: (1+rmonthly)12−1(1 + r_{monthly})^{12} - 1(1+rmonthly​)12−1

The historical market risk premium is approximately 16.87%. Would you like me to save this calculation as a separate .py file? If so, I can create a function that returns this value for use in the Streamlit app.

This code snippet calculates the beta of a given stock by analyzing its excess returns against the market risk premium using historical data from Yahoo Finance and Fama-French factors.

I've created a working beta calculation function that:

  1. Gets 10 years of monthly data from both Fama-French and yfinance
  2. Aligns the dates properly using PeriodIndex
  3. Calculates excess returns
  4. Performs the regression
  5. Creates a scatter plot with regression line

The test with AAPL shows: Beta coefficient: 1.1532

And here's the scatter plot showing the relationship between market excess returns and stock excess returns:

Would you like me to save this as a .py file? The function works as expected, calculating the beta coefficient and generating a visualization of the regression.

The function works perfectly! Here are the results for AAPL:

Beta: 1.1532

Risk-free Rate: 0.0420

Cost of Equity: 0.1370

And here's the beta regression plot:

The function successfully calculates all components and the final cost of equity. For AAPL, we can see that:

  • The market risk premium is 8.24%
  • AAPL's beta is 1.15 (indicating higher risk than the market)
  • The current risk-free rate is 4.20%
  • This results in a cost of equity of 13.70%

  • Example usage code in the if __name__ == "__main__": block

The file has been saved and can be used like this:

I've created a cost of equity analysis for Walmart (WMT). Here are the results:

Cost of Equity Components for WMT:

Risk-free Rate: 4.20%

Beta: 0.50

Market Risk Premium: 8.24%

Cost of Equity: 8.33%

Here's the beta regression plot showing Walmart's relationship with market returns:

Chart unavailable

The analysis shows that Walmart has a relatively low beta of 0.50, indicating it's less volatile than the market. This makes sense given Walmart's defensive nature as a consumer staples retailer. Combined with the current risk-free rate of 4.20% and a market risk premium of 8.24%, this results in a cost of equity of 8.33%.
