Analysts’ forecast anchoring and discontinuous market reaction: evidence from China

Based on a comprehensive dataset of Chinese A-share stocks, we find significant evidence for analysts’ anchoring in China. This anchoring behavior exists only when forecasts are lower than the industry median and correlates to a series of analysts’ and corporate characteristics. The following market reactions to analyst anchoring are discontinuous: only forecasts without analysts’ anchoring achieve higher and positive returns in the next period, while those with anchoring bias have no influence on the following returns. Further analyses based on the earnings response coefficient reveal that analysts’ anchoring inhibits earnings information dissemination, and discontinuous stock performance is mainly from professional institutions. Overall, this paper provides evident results about analyst anchoring and its impact, and the findings are beneficial for investors to efficiently use analysts’ forecast information.

The Effect of Earnings Persistence and Capital Structure on Earnings Response Coefficient in Indonesia Stock Exchange

This study managed to investigate the effect of earnings persistence and leverage on the Earnings Response Coefficient (ERC) in companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Based on the annual report data of 265 companies from 2011 to 2021, we show that earnings persistence has a significant and positive impact on ERC, while leverage has a limited impact on ERC. Further findings demonstrate that higher investor sentiment could lead to a larger impact of earnings persistence on ERC. These results imply that, as high earning quality Attracts high investor sentiment in the trading stock, great news can be processed into the price quickly and the price rises in a short period, while bad news could also lead to immediate price corrections with investors’ attention. Thus, we find that a positive relationship between ROE and ERC, and investor sentiment helps strengthen the relationship. Our study adds the studies on price resilience and expands the understanding of the Indonesia Stock Exchange’s features.

Economics of Information Search and Financial Misreporting

ABSTRACTI examine how investors’ search for different types of information affects managers’ reporting decisions. I distinguish investors’ search for information about firm fundamentals (“fundamental search”) from their search for information about managers’ incentives (“incentive search”). Based on a parsimonious model of misreporting, I predict that fundamental search reduces the earnings response coefficient, which reduces managers’ benefits from misreporting, resulting in less misreporting. In contrast, incentive search increases the earnings response coefficient, which increases the benefits from misreporting, resulting in more misreporting. I test these predictions using an empirical technique that classifies EDGAR downloads as fundamental search or incentive search. Consistent with my theoretical predictions, I find that fundamental (incentive) search is negatively (positively) related to the earnings response coefficients and intentional restatements. I confirm my findings in two distinct empirical settings where the costs of information search exogenously changed: the adoption of XBRL and the electronic filing mandate of Form 4s. Collectively, the results show that investors’ information demand can shape managers’ reporting decisions, and its effects can vary depending on the type of information investors search for.

Pengaruh Corporate Social Responsibility, Kualitas Audit, Ukuran Perusahaan terhadap Earning Response Coefficient Dengan Struktur Modal Sebagai Variabel Moderasi

This research seeks to investigate the correlation between corporate social responsibility, audit quality, and company size in relation to the earning response coefficient, with capital structure as the moderating factor among firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange throughout the 2019-2022 period. The study focuses on companies within the consumer non-cyclical sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during 2019-2022. Employing purposive sampling, 116 samples were selected within this timeframe. Quantitative data analysis using SPSS version 26.0 was employed to conduct multiple linear regression analysis for data processing. The findings of this investigation demonstrate a positive correlation between corporate social responsibility, audit quality, and firm size with the earning response coefficient. Moreover, it was observed that while capital structure acts as a moderator that reinforces the positive impact of corporate social responsibility and audit quality on the earning response coefficient, it does not amplify the positive impact of firm size on this coefficient.

Does More Frequent Financial Reporting Bring the Future Forward?

SYNOPSIS Exploring mandatory financial reporting frequency changes in the United States from 1954 to 1972, we find that a mandatory increase in reporting frequency is associated with an increase in firms’ future earnings response coefficients. This effect is stronger for firms with higher sales seasonality or operating in industries with lower earnings persistence and for firms that provide more voluntary disclosures of forward-looking information after the reporting frequency increase. We also find that investors increase (decrease) the weight on long-term (near-term) earnings when pricing the firm after the reporting frequency increase. Our findings suggest that more frequent mandatory reporting can enhance the ability of investors to predict future earnings by providing additional useful information on future earnings and by triggering more voluntary disclosures. Our study informs the ongoing policy debates on mandatory financial reporting frequency by highlighting the informational benefit of frequent financial reporting for investors.

The Effect Of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Growth Opportunity, And Company Characteristics On Earning Response Coefficient (Case Study On The Conventional Banking Sector Listed On The Indonesia Stock Exchange-IDX 2018-2022)

Earnings Response Coefficient (ERC) is one of the measures used to measure earnings quality. Earnings Response Coefficient (ERC) is a valuation model that can be used to indicate the possibility of rising and falling stock prices for market reactions to earnings information announced by the company. By knowing the factors that affect the Earnings Response Coefficient (ERC), information can be obtained about how strong the market reaction is to the earnings information presented by the company. This study aims to examine and analyze the effect of Corporate Social Resposibilty, growth opportunity and company characteristics on earning response coefficient in conventional banking sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2018-2022 period. This research belongs to quantitative research. The sampling technique used purposive sampling technique, 43 conventional bank used as a population with 11 conventional bank companies is used as a research sample. The analysis method of this research used panel data regression analysis. The results showed that: (1) CSR has positive effect to earning response coefficient (2) Growth opportunity has effect to earning response coefficien). (3) Managerial ownership has positive effect to earning response coefficien). (4) Institutional ownership has positive effect to earning response coefficient. Simultaneously, CSR, growth opportunity, managerial ownership and institutional ownership has significant effect to earning response coefficient. The implication of the research results is that investors need to pay attention to corporate social responsibility, growth opportunities and company characteristics which are proven to be able to be used to determine the ups and downs of share price based on market reactions to company profit information.

A literacy of the relevance of Asian value sustainability reporting in Indonesia

An independent institution gives appreciation to companies in Indonesia that have published their sustainability reports by ranking their sustainability reports in the Asia Sustainability Reporting Rating. This institution plays a role in facilitating and encouraging companies, organizations and other entities in Indonesia to adopt good sustainability reporting practices. This ranking factor is predicted to influence the movement of abnormal returns so that it can influence value relevance through the earnings response coefficient. The aim of this study is to reveal the relevance of value in order to obtain empirical evidence regarding the influence of sustainability reports, sustainable report ratings and earnings persistence on the earnings response coefficient. The research sample was 130 companies in Indonesia that were included in the Asia Sustainability Reporting Ranking for the period 2019 to 2022. This paper uses a quantitative multiple linear regression method to test the hypothesis. The research results show that consistent profits can be predicted from the past and make a positive contribution to future earnings response. A company transparently discloses its performance in the sustainability aspect, thereby making the profit response more positive. Companies with high sustainability ratings tend to get a more positive profit response from the market and stakeholders. This study suggests that management and company owners in Indonesia are aware of the need to pay attention to long-term sustainability through the publication of sustainability reports to become a company’s commitment to implementing sustainability and minimizing risks arising from the company’s economic, social and environmental activities.

내부통제와 미래이익에 대한 주가 정보성

Purpose - This study examines whether internal control has an effect on stock price informativeness about future earnings. High quality internal control provides continuous assurance for the quality of financial reports, and these future earnings-related information is accurately reflected in the current stock price.
 Design/methodology/approach - This study collected 12,862 data from 2006 to 2021 in China to make an empirical analysis using the future earnings response coefficient (FERC) and the multiple regression analysis were hired in order to analyze the data.
 Findings - We find that internal control strengthens the association between current returns and future earnings, indicating that more information about future earnings is reflected in current stock prices. This positive effect exists in both the main board market and the growth enterprise market of China's stock market, especially in the main board market after the implementation of the internal control policy. In addition, we find that the positive effect is weaker for firms that report internal control deficiencies or receives non unqualified internal control audit opinions. The results using earnings persistence yield similar findings, further supporting the results based on the FERC model.
 Research Implications or Originality - Our tests provide strong evidence that the quality of internal control affects FERC in China stock market.

Deceiving Two Masters: The Effects of Labor Market Incentives on Reporting Bias and Market Efficiency

ABSTRACT We study a model in which financial reports are used in labor markets to learn about managerial talent. A manager manipulates reports to influence the labor market assessment of his talent. If investors are uncertain about the manager’s incentives, manipulation introduces noise into the report and reduces its usefulness for the capital market. We consider price informativeness and expected reporting bias as measures of capital market efficiency and develop novel empirical predictions. We show that higher uncertainty about the manager’s contribution to firm value can decrease price informativeness and earnings response coefficients. Intuitively, supplemental disclosures about managerial talent can mitigate the detrimental consequences of uncertain labor market incentives. Perhaps surprisingly, we show that the usefulness of such supplemental disclosures may increase in their susceptibility to manipulation.

The Brand Value of Earnings: An Event Study of Consumer Responses to Earnings Announcements

ABSTRACT We provide evidence from the first short-window event study of consumers’ perceptual responses to earnings announcements using daily consumer perception data. We document a positive association between the change in consumers’ overall perceptions of a brand at the time of the earnings announcement and the earnings surprise—that is, a positive consumer earnings response coefficient (CERC). CERC is larger when there is greater traditional news or social media activity, indicating that news dissemination is an important channel for consumers to respond to earnings news. Moreover, CERC varies based on brand and consumer characteristics. Changes in consumer perceptions at the time of the earnings announcement are positively associated with changes in purchase consideration and intent and with changes in realized future sales growth. To maximize identification, we document a positive and statistically significant CERC in a controlled experiment. Our findings demonstrate the importance of earnings to an important stakeholder.

Profitabilitas, Koefisien Respon Laba, dan Kesempatan Bertumbuh sebagai Variabel Pemoderasi

This research aims to determine the effect of profitability on the earnings response coefficient, as well as the moderating effect of growth opportunities on the relationship between profitability and the earnings response coefficient. This research examines 216 financial reports published by mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2017-2021. Profitability is proxied by ROA and ROE operated as independent variables; growth opportunities proxied by the MBV and Ln (RE) ratio are operated as moderating variables; and control variables in this research include company size, company age, and capital structure. Signal theory is used to explain research findings. To achieve the research objectives, this research uses multiple linear regression analysis. The analysis results show that profitability has a significant effect on the earnings response coefficient, and growth opportunities can moderate the effect of profitability on the earnings response coefficient. The implications of this research provide additional information regarding the earnings response coefficient which is significantly influenced by the company's ability to generate profits, the moderating effect of retained earnings weakens this influence.

Informativeness of Key Audit Matters: Evidence from China

SUMMARY This study examines whether the key audit matters (KAMs) disclosed in expanded audit reports as a part of recent regulatory reforms are informative for investors in an emerging economy setting. Using the recent adoption of expanded audit reports for firms listed exclusively in Mainland China, we find robust evidence that the abnormal trading volume and earnings response coefficients are higher and that stock price synchronicity is lower during the postadoption than preadoption period. In additional tests, we find evidence that KAMs are more informative for non-state-owned enterprises, smaller firms, and firms with a smaller analyst following. Finally, we find that investors respond to the characteristics of KAM disclosures, providing corroborative evidence of the informativeness of these disclosures. Overall, our study provides systematic evidence that KAMs are incrementally informative for investors in an emerging economy.

This study uses secondary data, namely financial statements and closing stock price information consisting of 3 days before, the day of publication of financial statements, and 3-days after publication. The study sample analyzed with the Earnings Response Coefficient (ERC). Tests are carried out every year from 2017 to 2021 using the regression test. The test results show that there is no increase in the quality of earnings for companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The test results also show that earnings quality decreased from 2017 to 2021. Thus, stakeholders can use other financial indicators or combine profit indicators with different hands in the investment decisions making process and in evaluating company performance.

Meta Analisis: Pengaruh Persistensi Laba, Ukuran Perusahaan, Dan Leverage Terhadap Earning Responses Coefficient

ABSTRACTThe purpose of this research is to organize and determine the consistency of the findings of previous studies. The paper on the factors affecting the earnings response coefficient (earnings response coefficient) of earnings from 2012-2021 was the subject of our research. Methods of observation and literature study with the extension of meta-analysis were used to collect data. These studies included 10 published articles and 11 theses from Indonesian universities taken from the Publish or Perish, Eprints, and repository applications. The earnings response coefficient is significantly influenced by firm size, earnings persistence and leverage, according to the findings of this study. Because the average correlation is close to zero, the correlation between the independent variable and the dependent variable is very small. The positive correlation value indicates that the increase in the earnings response coefficient is directly proportional to the increase in the three variables examined in this study.
