Abstract
This paper studies the relationship between selling, general and administrative expense(SG&A) of North American public companies and their stock performance. We introduce a measure of corporate governance based on the ratio of SG&A cost over total revenue and find a casual negative relationship between SG&A ratio and stock return. Additionally, we create a long-short trading strategy based on the SG&A ratio.
