Abstract

Résumé. Cette première étude canadienne des prévisions de bénéfices comptables effectuées par les analystes financiers et publiées par l'Institutional Brokers Estimate System (IBES) s'intéresse aux révisions dans les prévisions moyennes de bénéfice par action, pour 159 à 188 entreprises, de 1985 à 1987. L'étude utilise une approche résiduelle pour analyser l'évolution des rendements lors de l'annonce des révisions les plus importantes. Les principaux résultats sont les suivants. Premièrement, l'investisseur qui disposerait des révisions au début du mois où elles sont transmises aux abonnés pourrait réaliser des rendements anormaux. Deuxièmement, l'abonné qui transige sur la base de l'information qu'il reçoit pourrait également développer des stratégies de placement qui généreraient des rendements excédentaires importants. Il devrait pour cela tenir compte simultanément de l'importance relative des révisions, du secteur d'activité des entreprises et de l'horizon des prévisions. Troisièmement, lorsque les prévisions sont publiées, l'information contenue dans les changements importants dans les prévisions a déjà été partieliement anticipée par le marché. Ce résultat confirme ceux obtenus aux États†Unis et en Grande†Bretagne. Enfin, les révisions importantes coïncident avec une période de rendements anormaux. On ne peut cependant pas mettre en évidence de lien de causalité entre la divulgation de ces révisions et les rendements anormaux, car la date où l'information parvient aux utilisateurs ne peut ètre déterminée avec précision. Ces résultats ne varient pas selon le modèle de prévision des rendements utilisé. Ils ne constituent vraisemblablement pas une marque d'inefficience du marché canadien, car l'acquisition, le traitement et l'analyse des données, ainsi que les frais de transaction représentent des coûts importants qui limitent les rendements nets de stratégies de placement basées sur ces données.
