Capital asset pricing model Since the expected return of the asset at time formula_21 is formula_22, a higher expected return than what CAPM suggests indicates that formula_23 is too low (the asset is currently undervalued), assuming that at time formula_24 the asset returns to the CAPM suggested price.
