A Comparative Analysis of Earnings Forecasts in Europe

This study examines the accuracy and bias of financial analysts' EPS forecasts in nine European countries during 1987 to 1995. There are significant differences between the countries which may be due to the differences in earnings behaviour, accounting practices, and the influence of securities markets. An optimistic bias is endemic in European forecasts, consistent with research from the US. Investors who incorporate earnings forecasts in their stock selection procedures may be able to improve returns by explicitly adjusting their models for observed regularities in earnings forecast errors. However, we have shown that these regularities differ in incidence and magnitude across the countries studied, and further research is needed to effectively model these differences.     

经理人股票期权会计问题研究

近年来,经理人股票期权激励机制在我国开始实施,如何在借鉴国外已有的先进经验的基础上,根据我国现有国情和“本土化”的股票期权计划的发展程度构建的我国股票期权会计制度就成为迫切需要解决的课题。本文认为我国经理人股票期权应当费用化确认,同时采用服务单位法在经理人提供服务期间进行摊销;选择公允价值为计量基础,行权日为计量日;采用公允价值法计算考虑经理人股票期权稀释效用后的每股收益并进行充分的信息披露。

浅析ESP外保温墙体建筑的优越性

随着城市建设规模的迅速发展和住宅商品化的深入,人们对节约能源和保护环境要求不断提高,建筑节能和建筑环保日益得到人们的重视,出现了不少新技术、新工艺、新材料,建筑结构围护保温(即建筑外墙的保温)便是其中之一。外墙苯板外保温饰面系统的墙体,我国从20世纪80年代开始试点到现在全国基本上全面开花。在国外经验的基础上,结合国内情况,我国制定了《外墙外保温工程技术规程》JGJ144-2004,按照此规程进行设计与施工,确保工程质量,促使EPS外保温墙体建筑更加迅速发展起来。

Expected EPS and EPS Growth as Determinantsof Value

This paper develops a parsimonious model relating a firm’s price per share to, (i), next year expected earnings per share (or 12 months forward eps), (ii), short-term growth (FY-2 versus FY- l) in eps, (iii), long-term (asymptotic) growth in eps, and, (iv), cost-of-equity capital. The model assumes that the present value of dividends per share (dps) determines price, but it does not restrict how the dps-sequence is expected to evolve. All of these aspects of the model contrast sharply with the standard (Gordon/Williams) text-book approach, which equates the growth rates of expected eps and dps and fixes the growth rate and the payout rate. Though the constant growth model arises as a peculiar special case, the analysis in this paper rests on more general principles, including dividend policy irrelevancy. A second key result inverts the valuation formula to show how one expresses cost-of-capital as a function of the forward eps to price ratio and the two measures of growth in expected eps. This expression generalizes the text-book equation in which cost-of-capital equals the dps-yield plus the growth in expected eps.This revised version was published online in August 2005 with a corrected cover date.     

超预期股本扩张与分析师每股盈余预测

卖方分析师的每股盈余预测在实证文献中被广泛使用。该指标同时依赖于分析师对目标公司未来净利润的预测和对目标公司未来股本数量的预测。因此,如果在分析师发布预测后,目标公司的股本数量发生超出分析师预期的扩张,则每股盈余预测将无法代表分析师对目标公司未来基本面的预测。本文构建了“调整后每股盈余预测”指标,该指标可剔除超预期股本扩张对每股盈余预测的影响,真实反映分析师对目标公司未来基本面的预测。本文应用该指标,在两个具体的实证研究场景中证明了,忽略超预期股本扩张的影响可能得出错误的实证结论。本文还进一步指出了三个忽略超预期股本扩张的影响可能导致错误实证结果的研究场景。

Accruals Management to Avoid Losses

This study examines whether firms engage in accruals management to beat the zero earnings benchmark from the perspective of earnings per share (EPS). Based on net income scaled by lagged market value of equity (E/MV) to define just‐miss and just‐beat test bins, previous studies provide no or inconclusive evidence of accruals management to beat the zero earnings benchmark. I conjecture that because managers focus on shares scaled earnings performance rather than market value scaled earnings performance, forming test bins based on EPS instead of E/MV is a better approach to detect accruals management. As expected, I find evidence of accruals management to beat the zero EPS benchmark. I also find that firms are more likely to manipulate accruals when managers have stronger incentives to beat the zero EPS benchmark. In addition, accruals of firms just beating the zero EPS benchmark are more likely to reverse the next year, resulting in relatively lower future earnings for firms just beating the benchmark compared with firms just missing the benchmark.
