Abstract

Following the work of Easley et al. (2002) in documenting the effect of private information on cross-sectional stock returns, we examine the relationship between a firm's fundamental characteristics and its probability of information-based trading (PIN). We find that asset turnover and dividend yields are important firm characteristics that influence a firm's PIN. The findings also offer an alternative explanation as to why firm characteristics are informative about asset prices.
