Diagnostic Expectations and Stock Returns

Abstract: We revisit La Porta's finding that returns on stocks with the most optimistic analyst long‐term earnings growth forecasts are lower than those on stocks with the most pessimistic forecasts. We document the joint dynamics of fundamentals, expectations, and returns of these portfolios, and explain the facts using a model of belief formation based on the representativeness heuristic. Analysts forecast fundamentals from observed earnings growth, but overreact to news by exaggerating the probability of states that … Show more

“…3 Recent theoretical models (e.g., Barberis et al (2015), Adam, Marcet, and Beutel (2017)) have been proposed to reconcile survey data on expectations with price volatility. With some exceptions (e.g., Bordalo et al (2019)), these papers focus primarily on explaining the behavior of subjective return expectations.

“…The authors point out that tree-based classifier algorithms are more effective tools for predicting stock market behavior. Bordalo et al (2019) investigate the dynamics of fundamentals, expectations, and stock returns using different forecasting techniques in the theoretical framework. Unlike the adaptive expectations theory, the results indicate that the investors are forward-looking in forming their belief in the light of observed stock earning growth.…”
