Abstract: | Monthly returns to companies with optimistic expectations are 1,5% lower versus companies with pessimistic expectations, while annual buy-and-hold returns to companies with optimistic expectations are 20% lower. The optimistic component of stock prices lingers months after the optimism is revealed to the market. It also exists separately from the component related to analyst forecast dispersion. |
