Abstract

This study examines the role of intra†industry information transfers in the analyst forecast†based post†earnings announcement drift. I find that subsequent same†industry†peer earnings announcements influence a firm's post†earnings announcement drift if these subsequent announcements confirm the firm's initial earnings surprise and the firm's industry exhibits ex ante positive (common effect) intra†industry information transfers. The results suggest that underreaction to industry†specific information contributes to analyst forecast†based post†earnings announcement drift.L'auteure étudie le rôle du transfert intrasectoriel de l'information dans le mouvement réactif postérieur à l'annonce des résultats fondé sur les prévisions des analystes. Elle constate que les annonces de résultats subséquentes des sociétés appartenant au même secteur influent sur le mouvement réactif postérieur à l'annonce des résultats d'une société, si ces annonces subséquentes confirment les résultats inattendus initiaux de la société et que le secteur d'activité auquel elle appartient se caractérise au départ par des transferts intrasectoriels de l'information positive. L'auteure conclut que la réaction mitigée à l'information sectorielle contribue au mouvement réactif postérieur à l'annonce des résultats fondé sur les prévisions des analystes.
