| Abstract: | Recent results indicate that the apparent delay in the stock-price response to earnings announcements is caused by investors who underestimate the autocorrelation of seasonally-differenced earnings (persistence). The author presents results that indicate that: 1) a company's future persistence is predictable on the basis of its past persistence, 2) the immediate stock-price response to earnings is positively related to historical persistence, 3) post-earnings announcements drift is independent of historical persistence and 4) consistent with 2) and 3), the difference between a company's current observed persistence and that implied in stock prices is independent of its historical persistence. |
