摘要:

本文以2007—2020年上市公司业绩说明会为背景,研究前瞻性信息披露对分析师预测的影响,发现业绩说明会中的前瞻性信息可以显著提升分析师盈余预测准确性。公司的信息不对称程度越高,前瞻性信息对分析师预测准确性提升越多。分析师专长工作经验越丰富,具备更强的信息捕捉能力,可以更好地吸收与理解业绩说明会中的前瞻性信息,做出更准确的预测。进一步,本文对前瞻性信息影响分析师预测的路径进行了研究,发现前瞻性信息可能通过吸引分析师和机构投资者调研,增进分析师对上市公司经营状况的了解,进而提升盈余预测准确性。此外,本文发现,前瞻性信息中业绩相关类信息因具有更高的可信度,且与盈余因子直接相关,能够显著提升分析师盈余预测准确性。本研究为管理层披露与分析师的互动研究提供了增量证据,研究结果支持了业绩说明会有效性,可以为未来监管部门制定相关信息披露政策提供依据和建议。

Abstract:

Earnings communication conferences are important platforms for communication between listed companies and minority investors in China. In fact, due to the anonymity and low threshold nature of earnings communication conferences, their participants include not only minority investors but also analysts, potential investors, competitors, etc. Because management cannot anticipate the participants’ questions in advance, more “hard information” and “soft information” may be inadvertently delivered. Whether analysts, who are important information intermediaries in capital markets, draw on forward-looking statements (hereafter FLS) in earnings communication conferences when collecting, analyzing, and producing information, how these FLS influence analysts’ earnings forecasts, and which kind of FLS is more useful are the questions explored in this paper.Using textual information from 2007 to 2020, it is found that firms with more FLS disclosed in Earnings Communication Conference have more accurate analysts forecast afterwards. Experienced analysts benefit more from using FLS due to better information processing capability and easier access to resources. Forward-looking statements assist analysts in making more accurate forecasts when information asymmetry is more severe. Then a possible explanation is presented. With more FLS disclosed by the firm, sell-side analysts and institutional investors may increase their corporate visits to verify the information acquired. In this way, analysts forecast accuracy is improved. Furthermore, it is also found that performance related FLS are more likely to improve analysts forecast accuracy, due to higher credibility and direct relation with earnings.

Key words: earnings communication conference, forward-looking statements, analyst earnings forecast, textual analysis
