The Factors Affecting the Stock Prices of Alternative Energy Firms Listed on German Stock Exchanges
Abstract
In this study, the factors affecting the stock prices of alternative
energy companies listed on German stock exchanges were analyzed. For that
purpose, DAX 30 index, oil prices and natural gas prices were chosen as the
factors that might have effect on stock prices of alternative energy
companies.
GARCH(1,1) model was used for the analysis as the data in the analysis
demanded so. The results suggested that DAX index has effect on the stock
returns of alternative energy companies and that result was already expected.
However, natural gas appeared as a more important factor than oil prices with
regard to the volatility of stock prices of alternative energy companies.
Natural gas prices have more obvious effect on the risk of alternative energy
companies than oil prices. One possible cause of that result may be the fact
that Europe especially Germany is not only net natural gas importer but also
they mostly depend on only one supplier.
