The timeframe for this study spans from January 2010 to December 2021. The findings indicate that the Fama-French (2018) six-factor model has significant explanatory power on stock returns in the Taiwan region stock market. The influences of the Fama-French six factors vary across different international stock markets. In the Taiwan region stock market, the market risk factor, the size factor, the investment factor, and the momentum factor positively influence on stock returns, while the value factor and the profitability factor exert a negative influence on stock returns. The findings also reveal that the market risk factor, the size factor, the value factor, the profitability factor, and the investment factor exist nonlinear phenomena on stock returns in the Taiwan region stock market when analyzed through panel data regression models. %K Fama-French Six-Factor Model %K Taiwan Region Stock Market %K Panel Data Regression Model %K Nonlinear %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=132956
