Abstract

Financial experts in the response to critics of EVA, propose the refined form of EVA that focuses on relevance of information versus its reliability. In  other words' this measure that we call it "REVA", computes the opportunity cost of used resources in the base of their market values. In   this research we studied information content and explanatory power of REVA for different measures of risk-adjusted stock return. The hypothesis of this study was tested for 50 active corporations   introduced in the research period.  We   used  the available statistical society of corporations accepted in Tehran stock exchange, and tested the Correlation degree between variables of the research and the explanatory  power of REVA for  the changes  of different measures   for risk-adjusted   stock  return.  The  results  of this study   indicate   that,  there   is  a  weak  positive   correlation    between REV A and measures  of risk-adjusted  stock return,  and  a (differential or  abnormal   return)'   REV A  (total  risk-adjusted    stock  return),   and RVOL   (systematic    risk-adjusted    stock   return)    orderly    have   the greatest  correlation   coefficient  with REV A. It means:  rREVA,α > rREVA,RVAR > rREVA,RVOL
