Rather the nature of the relationship with stock prices has changed such that a linear model does not fully abstract the association. Once, the transitory components within the earnings stream are controlled, the relationship becomes as stable as the book value relationship. Moreover, the long-term risk relevance of accounting information has remained relatively stable over the last thirty years. We also find evidence of firm size and leverage effects
