Abstract: | Positive and negative earnings surprises affect "best" (high-P/E) and "worst" (low-P/E) stocks in an asymmetric manner favoring worst stocks. Long-term "reversion to the mean", in which worst stocks display above-market returns while best stocks show below-market results, regardless of the sign of the surprise, continues for at least 19 quarters following the news. The mispricing-correction hypothesis can explain the superior returns of contrarian strategies. |
