Many academic studies of the last two decades are focused to explain Book-to-Market (B/M), market overreaction, and return reversal effects observed on empirical researches data. This research replicates to Brazilian stock market recent researches that bring new explanations to these data. We show that these effects are results of market overreaction to what may be named intangible information. We decompose returns into one component that can be named tangible, which can be explained by accounting measures, and another one, orthogonal to it, that can be named intangible. This research demonstrates that market overreacts to intangible and not to tangible information, and this explains Book-to-Market effect and return reversals. Many financial researchers look for explanations to exceeding gains on stock market beyond what would be expected by risk prize. Exceeding gains are grounded, against to Efficient Market Hypothesis, that returns would follow predictable patterns. These patterns are: first, returns tend to reverse and, second, future returns are related to variables associated with past accounting performance scaled to market stock price. The most important of these ratios is B/M ratio. One research branch, leaded by Fama and French, argues that high B/M firms are likely to be riskier, and hence investors require higher expected returns. None of these explanations gives us complete answers to data gathered by empirical researches. We show that in Brazilian stock market there isn t a significant relation between future returns and past fundamental firm growth. Instead, we found a strong negative relation between returns and realization of intangible returns. We find intangible return reversal and not tangible. We find evidences that market overreacts to intangible information.
