Abstract: | Using a unique data set, the authors studied the performance of stock recommendations made by Wall Street Journal all-star analysts. The authors document that stocks recommended by the all-star analysts outperform benchmarks controlled for size and industry. Stocks recommended by analysts who focus on a single industry outperform those recommended by analysts covering multiple industries. The authors also document a herding behavior among analysts in an industry. |
