Determination of the stock expected return is an important element of asset management. This paper presents an Arbitrage Pricing Theory model, which strives to estimate the expected return explaining the historical volatility of the stock prices. This paper presents the model as it was introduced, necessary extension for application to a small market included. Statistical methods on which the model has been build are discussed -- factor analysis completed by principal component analysis. In the practical part, the model is applied to the Czech market with an assessment of the success of the application. The forces which were expected to represent risk factors for the market have been examined as well. It will be shown that the model may contribute to the understanding of risk behaviour of the stocks.
