Investor Sentiment and Analysts' Earnings Forecast Errors
W correlate analysts’ forecast errors with temporal variation in investor sentiment. We find that when sentiment is high, analysts’ forecasts of one-year-ahead earnings and long-term earnings growth are relatively more optimistic for “uncertain” or “difficult-to-value” firms. Adding these forecast errors to a regression of stock returns on sentiment absorbs a sizable fraction of the explanatory...
متن کاملAnalysts’ Earnings Forecast Errors and Cost Behavior
The objective of this study is to examine whether analysts fully incorporate a nonproportionate algorithm of cost-change relative to revenue-change in forecasting earnings. We conjecture that the errors in analysts’ earnings forecasts made in the first month after the fiscal year-end are largely due to the errors in estimating expenses as a result of analysts’ use of a proportionate cost-change...
متن کاملEarnings Forecast Accuracy And Career Concerns
Previous studies show that analysts’ compensation is not linked to earnings forecast accuracy. We evidence however that analysts have incentives to issue accurate forecasts. We show that brokerage houses reward their best forecasters by assigning them to large, mature firms. Covering such firms increases the potential for future compensation as these firms generate a great deal of investment ba...
متن کاملUsing Wavelets and Splines to Forecast Non-Stationary Time Series
This paper deals with a short term forecasting non-stationary time series using wavelets and splines. Wavelets can decompose the series as the sum of two low and high frequency components. Aminghafari and Poggi (2007) proposed to predict high frequency component by wavelets and extrapolate low frequency component by local polynomial fitting. We propose to forecast non-stationary process u...
متن کاملTime Series Forecast with Singular Spectrum Analysis
We propose a novel approach for constructing Singular Spectrum Analysis (SSA) forecast based on estimating new coefficients of Linear Recurrent Formula. The results indicate that the proposed method is more reliable in comparison to the widely used approaches that were proposed along with SSA. We conduct simulation studies to compare the relative performance of the new method with the existing ...
