Abstract
Several institutions issue rankings based on the accuracy of price and EPS forecasts. Given that these rankings are ex-post they may not be able useful to investors. In this paper we show that trading strategies based on perfect foresight and past rankings outperform a passive strategy. In addition, we report that investors are better off following analysts that issue accurate price targets rather that those with accurate EPS forecasts.
