본 연구는 재무분석가의 예측일관성이 회계이익 정보에 대한 시장의 반응에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 분석하였다. Hilary and Hsu (2013)는 재무분석가들이 발표하는 이익예측치의 일관성이 높을수록 정보의 유용성이 크다고 보고하였다. 본 연구는 이에 착안하여 재무분석가 이익예측 오류에 있어서 일관성이 높을수록, 즉, 보고한 이익예측치의 오류들의 표준 편차가 낮을수록, 투자자의 이익 정보에 대한 과소반응이 완화될 것으로 예상하였다. 그러나 일관된 예측 오류는 투자자들의 이익의 지속성에 대해 과소반응하게 할 가능성이 있는데, 만약 투자자들이 이러한 이익예측의 특성을 인지하지 못한다면 이익 정보에 대한 투자자들의 과소반응은 심화될 것이다. 이익정보에 대한 과소반응은 이익공시 이후 주가의 지연 반응으로써 검증되는 바, 본 연구는 주가잔류현상의 크기를 통해 가설을 검증하였다.

2005년부터 2015년까지 유가증권시장에 상장된 기업을 대상으로 실증분석 결과, 재무분석가들의 예측 일관성이 높을수록 시장의 이익 정보에 대한 과소반응은 더 커지는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 재무분석가들의 예측 정확도를 통제하고 재무분석가들 간의 횡단면적 상관관계로 인한 추정의 왜곡을 완화하는 방법으로서 분석한 경우에도 동일하게 유지되었다. 이는 투자자들이 재무분석가 예측 오류의 일관성이 갖는 정보적 의미를 완전히 이해하지 못하여, 결과적으로 이익 정보에 과소반응하게 된다는 것을 나타낸다. 본 연구는 재무분석가들의 예측 일관성이 주가 반응의 지연에 영향을 미친다는 것을 보여줌으로써, 분석가들의 예측 오류의 일관성이 이익 정보에 대한 시장의 반응에 결정적인 요인이 될 수 있다는 것을 시사한다.

This study investigates how analysts’ forecast consistency is associated with investor responsiveness to earnings information. Hilary and Hsu (2013) reported that forecasts issued by analysts with more consistency of earnings forecast are more informative. Thus, we expect that analyst forecast with consistent error (i.e. error with low standard deviation) contributes to mitigating the investors’ under-reaction to earnings information. Consistent forecast errors, meanwhile, may lead to investors’ under-reaction to unexpected earnings. If investors fail to unravel the information in earnings persistence regarding future earnings change, forecast consistency may intensify investors’ under-reaction to earnings information, resulting into a more delayed stock price reaction. Thus, the effect of forecast consistency on the investors’ response to earnings information is an empirical question.

Using 2005-2015 firms listed on Korean Stock Exchange, empirical result shows that analysts’ forecast consistency has positive relation to abnormal returns subsequent to earnings announcement date. Given that abnormal returns following earnings announcement date are due to investors’ under-reaction to earnings information, it appears analysts’ forecast consistency makes such a under-reaction to information stronger. Moreover, this result holds even after controlling for analysts forecast accuracy and addressing cross-sectional correlation between analysts. This means that investors do not fully understand the implication of consistent biases in analysts’ forecasts and consequently under-react to the information for future earnings. By showing the significant impact of analysts’ forecast consistency on a delayed stock price reaction, this study suggests analysts’ forecast consistency as a critical determinant of investor response to earnings information in stock market.
