Abstract

Investors lacking ample time, professional knowledge, and sufficient ability may find it difficult to understand the implication of complex corporate information and figure out the clear trend of future corporate performance. Financial analysts who provide earnings forecasts and stock recommendations could help investors with investment decision-making. This chapter explores the roles that analysts play in the stock market, the determinants of the effectiveness of their roles, and how well they play the roles.
