The Market Interpretation of Management Earnings Forecasts as a Predictor of Subsequent Financial Analyst Forecast Revision.
研究显示,市场对管理层盈利预测的价格反应能预测后续分析师预测修正,且预测能力受管理层预测发布时间影响。
Abstract This study investigates the relation between financial analyst earnings forecast revisions and two independent variables: (1) a measure of management earnings forecast news issued prior to analyst revisions, and (2) measures derived from the security market price reaction to that news. Results indicate that security price reactions to management forecasts are useful in predicting subsequent analyst forecast revisions. Furthermore, the explanatory power of price reaction is a function of the timing of the management forecast release.
