Abstract
Drawing upon more than 12 million observations over the period from 1996 to 2020,
we  nd that allowing for nonlinearities signi cantly increases the out-of-sample
performance of option and stock characteristics in predicting future option returns.
The nonlinear machine learning models generate statistically and economically sizeable
pro ts in the long-short portfolios of equity options even after accounting for
transaction costs. Although option-based characteristics are the most important
standalone predictors, stock-based measures o er substantial incremental predictive
power when considered alongside option-based characteristics. Finally, we provide
compelling evidence that option return predictability is driven by informational
frictions and option mispricing.
