The global spread of the COVID-19 epidemic has become a common threat to human society, posing huge challenges to the economies of various countries. On this basis, evaluating the impact of it on the economy and society has become a research hotspot. The stock market, as a barometer of the economy, will reflect the economic impact of the outbreak. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected stock markets around the world, which has forced markets into an unprecedented environment that performances differently among various industries. This paper takes 2-3 stocks from U.S. market in each of the four selecting industries as sample to verify the effectiveness of the classical CAPM model before and after the COVID-19 period based on regression analysis. The data is collected from the Yahoo database, where the period from March 1 to December 31, 2019 is used as the pre-pandemic control while the period from March 1 to December 31, 2020 was labeled as a post-pandemic control. According to the analysis, the β value of bank increased before and after the epidemic while fall for Internet e-commerce, automobile manufacturing and pharmaceutical industries.
