股吧投資專家對不同產業經驗分析師盈餘預測偏誤影響之探究

Abstract

證券分析師於資本市場作為資訊中介者的角色，利用自身的財務專業經驗，提供投資人專業的研究報告，降低投資人與公司間資訊不對稱的情形。隨著中國網路普及，網路投資平台成為投資人發表意見及取得資訊的管道，造就具有影響力股吧投資專家的出現，對分析師形成競爭壓力。本研究係檢視具有影響力股吧投資專家首次加入後，相較於產業經驗不足的分析師，產業經驗豐富分析師的盈餘預測偏頗及錯誤是否降低幅度較大。實證結果顯示，在具有影響力股吧投資專家首次加入公司進行分析，分析師的產業經驗與盈餘預測偏頗變動顯著為正，亦即股吧投資專家首次加入後，會使產業經驗豐富分析師盈餘預測偏頗增加。此外，當具有影響力股吧投資專家首次加入公司進行分析，相較於產業經驗不足的分析師，產業經驗豐富的分析師盈餘預測錯誤變動未顯著降低。As an information intermediary in the capital market, securities analysts use their professional financial experience to provide investors with research reports and reduce information asymmetry between investors and companies.
