Financial analysts' earnings forecasts for loss firms

Article Abstract:

Differences was noted with regards to the accuracy and bias of earnings predictions for loss firms and non-loss firms. A sample data containing the differential forecast performance of loss and non-loss firms showed that financial analysts' predictions for loss making companies are more optomistically biased than those for non-loss companies. The accuracy of earnings forecasts for non-loss companies tend to be higher than that of loss companies.

Divergence of analysts' earnings forecasts and stock returns-earnings relation

Article Abstract:

A negative relationship exists between the level of disagreement in analysts' earnings forecasts and earnings coefficients. A sample of 6,681 firm-year observations covering an eight-year period revealed that an increase in the level of disagreement among analysts' earnings forecasts lowers the coefficient relating stock returns and earnings. Validation of Imhoff and Lobo's empirical findings was also obtained.
