中文摘要

This study examines the extent to which analyst multi-year earnings forecasts help investors assess values of the firms with substantial fixed and intangible assets. We explore the potential explanations for analysts to provide these forecasts and investigate whether the residual earnings valuation model benefits from incorporating them. Analysts issue more frequently multi-year forecasts for firms with greater investment in property, plant, and equipment, intangible assets, and/or research and development. We also find that given the prevalently adopted near-termed forecasts, analyst multi-year forecasts add significantly to explaining both short- and long-horizoned returns, especially for firms investing heavily for the future.
英文摘要

本文納入分析師多年期盈餘預測於超溢盈餘個股評價模型，檢視其是否增益高額投資於不動產、廠房及設備與無形資產公司價值評估，以探究分析師同時提供多年期盈餘預測的原因。實證發現，分析師偏好提供此類公司多年期盈餘預測；而除文獻上慣常單獨使用的分析師當年度盈餘預測，將多年期預測帶入模型可提升短期與長期投資效益。
