Abstract

Zusammenfassung Managementprognosen leisten einen wichtigen Beitrag zum Abbau von Informationsasymmetrien zwischen der Unternehmensleitung und den Stakeholdern. Insbesondere für Finanzanalysten sind die prospektiven Aussagen des Managements im Rahmen der Prognoseberichterstattung bei der Bestimmung des Unternehmenswertes essenziell. Inwiefern Finanzanalysten den Managementprognosen unterjährig folgen und die Prognosequalität beider Gruppen bezüglich der Schätzung wesentlicher Erfolgsgrößen korreliert, ist bisher wenig erforscht. In dem vorliegenden Beitrag wird diesen Fragen nachgegangen, indem das Zusammenspiel von Managementprognosen und den Schätzungen von Finanzanalysten untersucht wird. Es zeigt sich, dass in gesamtwirtschaftlichen Aufschwungs- beziehungsweise Boomphasen ein relativ vorsichtiges Prognoseverhalten seitens des Managements die Regel ist und mit ebenso pessimistischen Analystenschätzungen einhergeht. In Krisenzeiten hingegen kommt es seitens der Unternehmensleitung zu einer relativ exakten Vorhersage wesentlicher Erfolgsgrößen. Ebenso fallen die Schätzungen der Analysten in diesen Phasen weniger pessimistisch aus. Datengrundlage für die Untersuchung bilden die Prognoseberichte aus den Quartals- und Geschäftsberichten der Unternehmen des HDAX der Jahre 2005 bis 2010.
