This master’s thesis tests the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) and the Fama-French 3-factor model (FF3FM) for the U.S. high-tech industry. For a total sample of 120 U.S. high-tech companies we run OLS time-series regressions for both models by using return and accounting data from 2002 to 2016. It is found that on average, the CAPM is not sufficient in explaining average excess returns for our
