The Informational Role of Bond Analysts

Abstract: This study uses a large sample of sell‐side bond analysts' reports to examine the properties of recommendations provided by bond analysts and the impact of these recommendations on bond securities. First, we document that the distribution of bond analysts' buy, hold, and sell recommendations is skewed positively, but less so than the distribution of equity analysts' recommendations. The positive skewness in bond analysts' recommendations is greater for low than for high credit quality bonds. Second, we find th… Show more

“…Ericsson et al (2009) show that much of the variation in CDS spreads can be explained by structural model factors linked to firm fundamentals. Callen et al (2009) and Das et al (2009) find that accounting earnings are priced into the levels of and changes in CDS spreads, whereas De Franco et al (2009) show that CDS prices are responsive to debt analysts' reports.

“…Estudos anteriores documentam significantes diferenças entre o IFRS e os padrões contábeis domésticos com respeito tanto às regras de mensuração, reconhecimento e requisitos de transparência (Ding, Hope, Jeanjean, & Stolowy, 2007;Bae, Tan, & Welker, 2008) das empresas (Frost, 2007;De Franco et al, 2009 contratuais dos credores, uma vez que: i) resultaria no reconhecimento de ganhos econômicos não realizados, contrário à preferência dos credores; ii) requereria extensivo uso de estimativas não verificáveis e julgamentos na valoração de ativos e passivos, que pode reduzir a confiabilidade percebida dos números contábeis e favorecer a prática de gerenciamento de resultados; e iii) resultaria no reconhecimento de ganhos e perdas transitórios no resultado, provocando deterioração da qualidade do lucro contábil (Schipper, 2005;Ball et al, 2015).…”

Segundo, autores sugerem que os benefícios da adoção do padrão internacional tendem a ser mais expressivos em países que possuem maior defasagem entre o GAAP local e o IFRS (Daske et al, 2008, Hail et al, 2010, o que vem ao encontro do caso brasileiro.…”
