An evaluation of analysts' expectational data regarding firms listed on the JSE securities exchange

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

This study empirically investigates the usefulness of South African stockbroker analysts' two primary forms of expectational output: earnings forecasts and investment (buy, hold, and sell) recommendations. Instead of focusing on individual stockbroker analysts' forecasts and recommendations, the consensus estimates are examined as they are accessible to a large community of investors.
