Hypothesis Betting with the experts will produce winning results
Data Selection • Used IBES Data from 1983 – 1992 • Did “Mean Estimate” go up from previous month? • Tracked # “ups” in previous 6 mo period
Fractile Selection Methodology • Select stocks with most and least up movements for previous 6mo period • Sort those stocks based on returns for same 6mo period • Calculate return at end of each 6mo period
Lessons Learned • Consistent upward adjustments in estimated earnings are not necessarily indicative of future positive returns • Be wary of the experts • Contrarian viewpoint may prove to be successful
