Abstract
Contemporarily, analyst following and inefficient investment are the general concern of the company’s management, which is necessary to investigate the relationship between them.

Based on the analysis, analyst following will reduce the level of corporate inefficient investment, which is still valid after a series of robustness tests. Besides, the results of heterogeneity analysis show that the impact of analyst following on corporate inefficiency investment is more obvious in companies with high leverage and low audit quality. This article provides suggestions for corporate governance and has practical significance for improving the level of enterprise resource allocation.
